The Harris 6290-4 Cutting Tip is a premium-grade consumable designed for industrial oxy-acetylene cutting applications. Engineered by Harris, a global leader in gas apparatus, this tip exemplifies the brand's commitment to quality, safety, and performance. The 6290 series is the industry standard for Harris torches, featuring a robust single-piece copper construction that withstands high heat and harsh working environments. This specific Size 4 model is calibrated to deliver a precise oxygen stream capable of severing steel plates up to 3 inches in thickness, making it an essential tool for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and structural steelwork.
One of the defining features of the Harris 6290-4 is its seating mechanism. Unlike some competitor designs that rely on O-rings or tapered friction fits, Harris utilizes a metal-to-metal flat seat. This design ensures a positive, leak-proof seal between the tip and the torch head without the need for thread sealants or tape. This not only simplifies maintenance and tip changes but also enhances safety by reducing the risk of flashback caused by leaks. The tip's internal geometry is machined to strict tolerances, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a laminar cutting oxygen stream that produces smooth, square cuts with minimal slag accumulation.
Designed for general purpose preheating, the 6290-4 provides ample heat input to start cuts rapidly on relatively clean steel. While it is optimized for acetylene, the most efficient fuel gas for cutting steel, users must ensure they are using the correct mixer and torch settings to maintain optimal flame characteristics. Whether you are processing structural beams or performing demolition work, the Harris 6290-4 delivers the consistency and reliability required for professional results.
