SC46-4 - Smith Equipment Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 4

Smith Equipment SC46-4 Heavy Duty Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip

The Smith Equipment SC46-4 is a specialized industrial cutting tip designed to deliver superior performance in the most demanding cutting applications. Part of the renowned SC46 series, this tip is engineered for "Rugged Duty," distinguishing it from standard general-purpose nozzles. While many propane tips utilize a two-piece design, the SC46-4 features a robust one-piece construction that is specifically optimized for cutting dirty, rusty, or heavily coated metals. This design philosophy makes it an indispensable tool for scrapping operations, demolition crews, and heavy construction sites where material conditions are far from pristine.

With a substantial cutting capacity of 4 inches (102mm), the SC46-4 allows operators to slice through thick steel sections with efficiency and precision using Propane or Natural Gas. The tip's geometry is calculated to maintain a stable preheat flame even when subjected to the excessive reflected heat often encountered when piercing or cutting into cavities and corners. This thermal resilience ensures a longer service life and reduces the frequency of tip replacements, ultimately lowering operational costs in high-volume environments.

Compatibility is a key feature of the SC46-4. It is designed to fit seamlessly with a wide range of Smith Equipment torches, including the DG200 and SC200 series cutting attachments. It is also fully compatible with all Smith SC DG series hand torches and Smith machine cutting torches. This versatility ensures that facilities utilizing Smith apparatus can integrate this heavy-duty tip without the need for adapter kits or torch modifications. Whether you are processing scrap metal in a yard or performing structural modifications on-site, this tip provides the durability and heat output required to get the job done.

Safety and efficiency are paramount in oxy-fuel cutting. The SC46-4 optimizes the consumption of alternate fuels like propane, which are often more cost-effective than acetylene for heavy heating and cutting of thick sections. By utilizing a tip specifically designed for these gases, operators achieve cleaner cuts with less slag adhesion, reducing post-cut grinding and cleanup time. Trust Smith Equipment's legacy of quality manufacturing to provide a cutting solution that stands up to the rigors of heavy industry.
