Victor 000-3-101 Acetylene Cutting Tip (0331-0002)

The Victor 000-3-101 Cutting Tip is a high-precision consumable designed for medium-duty oxy-acetylene cutting applications. Identified by the manufacturer SKU 0331-0002, this tip belongs to the renowned 3-101 series, which is engineered to fit Victor 100 Series cutting attachments, including the popular CA1350 and CA1260 models. As a Size 000 tip, it is specifically calibrated for cutting metal with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm), making it an essential tool for fine fabrication, HVAC repair, and general maintenance work where precision is paramount.

Constructed from a single piece of high-grade copper, the 000-3-101 tip offers superior thermal conductivity and durability. The one-piece design is a hallmark of Victor's acetylene tips, ensuring that the preheat flame and cutting oxygen stream are perfectly aligned for optimal performance. This construction also helps the tip withstand the intense heat of the oxy-fuel process without warping or degrading prematurely. The tip features a preheat oxygen pressure requirement of 3-5 PSIG and an acetylene pressure requirement of 3-5 PSIG, with a cutting oxygen pressure range of 20-25 PSIG. These specifications allow for a controlled and stable flame that produces clean, slag-free cuts at a speed of 28 to 32 inches per minute.

Victor's engineering excellence is evident in the internal geometry of the tip, which promotes smooth gas flow and efficient mixing. This results in a consistent preheat flame that brings the base metal to ignition temperature quickly, reducing gas consumption and increasing productivity. The 3-101 series is distinct from the larger 1-101 series (used for heavy-duty 300 series torches), ensuring that users with medium-duty outfits have access to professional-grade cutting performance. Whether used in a workshop environment or on a job site, the Victor 000-3-101 provides the reliability and accuracy expected from the industry leader in gas equipment.

Proper maintenance of the tip face and seating surfaces will extend the service life of this consumable. Users should ensure that the tip nut is tightened securely to the torch head to prevent leaks and backfires. With its robust copper build and precise machining, this genuine Victor tip is the ideal choice for operators seeking consistent results in light-gauge metal cutting applications.
