0330-0012 - Victor Size 0 Acetylene Cutting Tip Series 1-101

Precision Engineering for Heavy-Duty Cutting

The Victor 0-1-101 Acetylene Cutting Tip (SKU: 0330-0012) represents the standard of excellence in oxy-fuel cutting technology. Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, this Series 1 Type 101 tip is engineered to deliver precise, clean cuts on mild steel ranging from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch (9-12 mm) in thickness. Utilizing Acetylene as the fuel gas, the 0-1-101 tip optimizes the combustion ratio to produce a high-intensity preheat flame, ensuring rapid ignition and sustained cutting speeds of 20 to 24 inches per minute.

Constructed from high-grade copper and brass, the one-piece design of the 1-101 series is critical for thermal management. Copper's superior thermal conductivity allows the tip to withstand the intense reflected heat of heavy-duty cutting without overheating, thereby reducing the risk of flashback and extending the consumable's operational life. The internal geometry is precision-drilled to ensure laminar gas flow, which results in a stable flame cone and a consistent oxygen jet. This stability is paramount for achieving a narrow kerf width and minimizing slag accumulation on the bottom edge of the cut.

Operational parameters are specific and should be adhered to for maximum efficiency. The manufacturer specifies a Cutting Oxygen Pressure of 30-35 PSIG, a Preheat Oxygen Pressure of 3-6 PSIG, and an Acetylene Pressure of 3-5 PSIG. Adhering to these settings ensures the tip operates within its designed flow characteristics, preventing turbulence that can degrade cut quality. This tip is compatible with Victor heavy-duty cutting torches and cutting attachments, commonly known as the 300 Series, making it a versatile component for industrial fabrication environments requiring reliable performance.

Whether utilized in manual hand-cutting operations or mechanized machine cutting setups, the Victor 0-1-101 provides the consistency required by professional fabricators. Its robust construction resists deformation and wear, ensuring that the orifice geometry remains true over time, which is essential for maintaining the accuracy of the oxygen stream and the quality of the finished workpiece.
