CS15342 - Victor CutSkill 1534-2 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle

Technical Overview of the Victor CutSkill CS15342

The Victor CutSkill CS15342 is a specialized oxy-acetylene gouging nozzle designed to replicate the performance of the classic Oxweld 1534 series. Engineered for industrial maintenance and fabrication environments, this tip facilitates the rapid removal of metal, weld defects, and the preparation of U-grooves for subsequent welding passes. As a Size 2 nozzle, it provides a balanced flame characteristic suitable for medium-duty gouging applications, offering control over groove depth and width.

Constructed from a high-grade copper alloy, the CS15342 is a one-piece tip designed to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during the gouging process. The internal geometry is precision-machined to ensure a stable preheat flame and a focused cutting oxygen stream, which is critical for washing away molten metal smoothly rather than severing it. This tip is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas, leveraging its high flame temperature for rapid starts and efficient metal removal.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CutSkill line. This nozzle is designed to fit standard Oxweld-style torch handles, including the C-31, C-32, C-66, and compatible aftermarket equivalents. The seating surface is machined to OEM tolerances to ensure a positive gas seal, preventing backfires and leaks. For MRO professionals managing mixed equipment fleets, the CS15342 offers a reliable, high-value replacement for consumable inventory.
