0330-0148 - Victor 1-101-5 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Precision Heavy-Duty Cutting Performance

The Victor 0330-0148 5-1-200 Cutting Tip (commonly identified as the 1-101 Size 5) represents the industry standard for heavy-duty oxy-acetylene cutting. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this tip is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality cuts in industrial environments. The 0330-0148 is a Size 5 nozzle, specifically calibrated to cut through steel plate up to 4 inches (101 mm) thick, making it an essential consumable for structural steel fabrication, demolition, and heavy equipment repair.

This tip belongs to the renowned 1-101 Series, which utilizes a one-piece construction method. Unlike two-piece tips often used for alternative fuels, this one-piece copper alloy design maximizes heat transfer from the flame to the workpiece while maintaining durability under thermal stress. The internal geometry is precision-machined to ensure a stable preheat flame and a laminar high-pressure oxygen stream, resulting in smooth cut faces and minimal slag accumulation.

Compatibility is key for MRO operations. The Victor 0330-0148 features the standard Victor double-seating arrangement, ensuring a leak-proof fit with Victor 300 Series heavy-duty torch handles and cutting attachments. This secure seating prevents dangerous gas blow-by and ensures optimal safety during operation. Whether replacing a worn tip in a fabrication shop or stocking up for field maintenance, this genuine Victor component guarantees the performance specifications required for professional-grade metal severing.

Operators should verify their gas supply and regulator settings before use. For a Size 5 tip, recommended oxygen pressures typically range between 45-55 PSI, with acetylene pressures between 5-10 PSI, depending on the specific torch length and hose configuration. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning with a designated tip cleaner, will extend the service life of this premium cutting nozzle.
