0333-0288 - Victor Size 6 HPP Propylene Cutting Tip for 6-8 Inch Steel

High-Performance Propylene Cutting with Victor 6-HPP

The Victor 0333-0288 6-HPP Cutting Tip Assembly is a specialized industrial consumable engineered for heavy-duty cutting applications utilizing Propylene gas. As part of the renowned Victor HPP (High Performance Propylene) series, this tip is designed to maximize the thermal efficiency of alternative fuels, providing a clean and powerful cut on thick steel sections. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the HPP series features internal geometry specifically calibrated for the flow rates and combustion characteristics of propylene, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a concentrated cutting stream that resists blowback even under intense heat reflection.

With a designated Tip Size of 6, this assembly is built for substantial material removal. It boasts a cutting capacity range of 6 inches to 8 inches (approximately 152mm to 203mm), making it an essential tool for heavy fabrication, demolition, and scrap processing centers. The tip operates efficiently within a cutting speed range of 4 to 7 inches per minute, allowing operators to maintain steady progress through thick plate or structural beams without sacrificing cut quality. The precision-machined seats ensure a leak-proof seal with compatible Victor torches, maintaining safety and performance standards required in professional environments.

Operational parameters are critical for achieving the best results with the 6-HPP tip. The manufacturer specifies a cutting oxygen pressure range of 45/55 to 55/65 PSIG, depending on the exact thickness of the material being worked. Simultaneously, the fuel pressure should be maintained between 6/10 and 8/12 PSIG. Adhering to these pressure settings ensures the tip delivers the necessary kinetic energy to clear molten slag from deep kerfs while maintaining a consistent preheat. This balance is vital for preventing cut loss and reducing post-cut grinding or machining requirements.

Durability is a hallmark of the Victor brand, and the 0333-0288 is no exception. Constructed from high-quality copper and brass alloys, the tip withstands the high thermal stress associated with cutting thick steel. The assembly is designed to resist clogging and wear, providing a long service life even in harsh industrial conditions. Whether used in a handheld torch for field repairs or a machine torch setup for production cutting, the Victor 6-HPP delivers reliable, high-energy performance for the most demanding propylene cutting tasks.
