0333-0266 - Victor Size 4 GPP Propylene Cutting Tip 0333-0266

Precision Propylene Cutting with Victor 4-GPP

The Victor 0333-0266 4-GPP Cutting Tip is a high-performance consumable engineered specifically for industrial cutting applications utilizing Propylene or MAPP gas. As part of the Victor Large Series, this tip is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard 300 series hand torches and compatible machine torches, providing versatility across various fabrication environments. The "GPP" designation stands for General Purpose Propylene, indicating its optimization for the specific combustion characteristics of alternative fuel gases.

Unlike acetylene, propylene burns at a slower rate, requiring a specialized tip geometry to maintain a stable preheat flame. The 4-GPP features a recessed tip design where the flame anchors within the skirt of the nozzle. This configuration prevents the flame from blowing off the tip during operation, ensuring consistent heat input and a clean, high-quality cut. The Size 4 classification allows operators to cut through mild steel up to 3 inches (76mm) thick, making it an essential tool for structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and scrap processing.

Constructed with a two-piece design, the 4-GPP consists of an outer shell and an internal splined insert. This architecture not only enhances the durability of the tip by allowing for thermal expansion but also simplifies maintenance. If the splines become clogged with slag or carbon, the tip can be disassembled for thorough cleaning, extending the lifespan of the consumable significantly compared to one-piece designs. The heavy-duty brass material resists deformation under high heat, ensuring that the gas passages remain precise for optimal oxygen and fuel mixing.

Operational efficiency is key with the 0333-0266. It operates effectively within a cutting oxygen pressure range of 45-50 PSIG and a fuel gas pressure range of 8-12 PSIG. With a cutting speed of 8 to 11 inches per minute on 3-inch plate, this tip balances speed with precision, reducing the need for extensive post-cut grinding. Whether used in a manual torch for on-site repairs or a mechanized setup for production runs, the Victor 4-GPP delivers the reliability professionals expect from the industry leader in gas apparatus.
