CS42028 - Victor Purox 4202 Series Size 8 Acetylene Cutting Nozzle

Heavy-Duty Precision with the Victor Purox 4202-8

The Victor Purox 4202-8 is a premium-grade oxy-acetylene cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication, scrap cutting, and structural demolition. As part of the renowned Purox 4202 series, this tip represents a legacy of quality in gas apparatus, engineered to deliver consistent, high-temperature preheat flames and a powerful cutting oxygen stream. The "Size 8" designation indicates its substantial capacity, making it suitable for severing carbon steel plates and sections up to approximately 8 inches (203 mm) in thickness. This capability places the 4202-8 in the heavy-duty category, essential for shipyards, steel mills, and heavy equipment repair facilities where deep penetration and sustained cutting power are non-negotiable.

Constructed from a single piece of high-quality copper alloy, the 4202-8 is built to withstand the intense radiant heat generated during the cutting of thick materials. The one-piece design is a hallmark of the Purox style, offering excellent thermal conductivity which helps keep the tip cool, thereby extending its service life and reducing the risk of overheating. The internal geometry of the tip is swaged and polished to mirror-smooth finishes. This manufacturing precision ensures laminar gas flow, minimizing turbulence within the nozzle. The result is a stable, focused cutting stream that produces straight, clean cuts with minimal slag accumulation on the bottom edge of the workpiece.

Compatibility is key in industrial environments, and the CS42028 is designed to fit standard Purox "E" type torches and C-84 hand cutting torches. Operators familiar with the Purox line will appreciate the reliable seating and gas seal provided by the precision-machined base. When paired with the correct acetylene and oxygen pressure settings, this tip resists flashback and backfire, enhancing operator safety during prolonged cutting operations. Whether you are processing heavy scrap or resizing structural beams, the Victor Purox 4202-8 provides the thermal intensity and oxygen velocity required to get the job done efficiently.

Maintenance of the 4202-8 is straightforward due to its robust copper construction. Regular inspection of the preheat orifices and the central cutting oxygen bore will ensure optimal performance. By using appropriate tip cleaners, operators can maintain the integrity of the flame shape, ensuring that the preheat cones remain concentric and the cutting stream remains sharp. Investing in genuine Victor Purox consumables like the 4202-8 ensures that your oxy-fuel equipment operates at peak efficiency, reducing downtime and gas consumption over the life of the project.
