CS42133 - Victor CutSkill Purox Style 4202 Acetylene Cutting Tip - Size 3

Technical Overview of the Victor CutSkill CS42133

The Victor CutSkill CS42133 is a high-specification replacement cutting tip designed to interface seamlessly with Purox-style oxy-fuel torches. Engineered to replicate the performance of the classic Purox Type 4202 series, this tip is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas. The CS42133 represents a Size 3 configuration, which is technically rated for cutting mild steel with thicknesses ranging from approximately 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches (38mm to 50mm). This makes it an essential consumable for medium-to-heavy duty fabrication and demolition tasks where deep penetration and clean kerfs are required.

Construction and Gas Dynamics

Manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, the CS42133 utilizes a one-piece design common to acetylene nozzles. This solid construction aids in rapid heat dissipation, preventing tip overheating during prolonged cutting cycles. The internal geometry is precision-drilled to ensure a stable preheat flame and a laminar high-pressure oxygen stream, which is critical for maintaining cut quality and reducing slag accumulation. The seating surface is machined to tight tolerances to ensure a gas-tight seal within the torch head, minimizing the risk of flashbacks or leaks. As part of the Victor CutSkill line, this product adheres to rigorous quality control standards, ensuring consistent flow rates and flame characteristics that professionals expect.

Compatibility and Usage

This tip is designed for direct compatibility with torch handles and cutting attachments that accept Purox Type 4202 tips, such as the Purox E-series torches. Operators should ensure their regulators are set to the appropriate pressures for a Size 3 tip—typically requiring slightly higher oxygen volume compared to smaller sizes to clear the molten pool effectively from thicker plates. Whether used in a workshop environment or on a field job site, the CS42133 provides a reliable, industrial-grade solution for manual oxy-acetylene cutting operations.
