106-0 - 106-0 Propane Cutting Tip for Koike Torches - Size 0

Precision Cutting with the Koike Style 106-0 Propane Tip

The Koike Style 106-0 Cutting Tip is a premium aftermarket consumable designed to deliver reliable performance for oxy-fuel cutting applications using alternate fuels. Specifically engineered for use with Propane and Natural Gas, this tip belongs to the widely used 106 series, known for its standard speed and efficiency in industrial environments. The Size 0 configuration is optimized for cutting mild steel ranging from approximately 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (5mm to 10mm) in thickness, making it an essential tool for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and maintenance departments.

One of the defining characteristics of this tip is its 2-piece construction. Unlike single-piece acetylene tips, propane tips require a specific design to anchor the flame effectively. The 106-0 features a brass inner member with splines and a copper outer shell. This configuration creates a stable, high-intensity preheat flame necessary to bring the steel to ignition temperature when using slower-burning fuels like LPG. The separation of the inner and outer parts also facilitates easier cleaning and maintenance, ensuring a longer service life.

Durability is enhanced by a high-quality chrome plating over the copper and brass body. This chrome finish serves a functional purpose beyond aesthetics; it significantly reduces the adhesion of molten spatter during the cutting process. By preventing spatter buildup, the tip remains cooler and the gas orifices stay unobstructed for longer periods, resulting in less downtime for cleaning. Whether you are performing straight line cuts, beveling, or shape cutting with a Koike-compatible torch, the 106-0 provides the consistency and quality required for professional results.
