0333-0331 - Victor Size 10 HPN Propane Cutting Tip, Series 1

Heavy-Duty Victor 10-HPN Cutting Tip for Propane & Natural Gas

The Victor 0333-0331 10-HPN Cutting Tip is a premier choice for industrial professionals requiring extreme cutting capacity and reliability. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this Size 10 tip is designed specifically for use with alternative fuels such as Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the HPN series features a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer shell. This design optimizes the flame characteristics for alternative fuels, which burn at different velocities and temperatures compared to acetylene.

With a staggering cutting capacity of 12 inches (304mm), the 10-HPN is built for the heaviest tasks in the industry. It is classified as a "Heavy Preheat" tip, meaning it delivers a substantial amount of heat to the base metal before the cutting oxygen stream is engaged. This feature is particularly advantageous when working with scrap metal, heavily rusted plates, or when performing bevel cuts where heat dissipation is a challenge. The intense preheat ensures that the cut starts quickly and maintains a stable puddle even on dirty materials found in demolition sites and scrap yards.

This tip belongs to the Victor Series 1 family, making it compatible with the larger, heavy-duty torch handles such as the Victor 300 Series. It is not compatible with the smaller 100 Series handles. The operational parameters for this tip are robust, requiring a cutting oxygen pressure of approximately 45-55 PSIG and a fuel pressure of 10-16 PSIG. By utilizing propane or natural gas, operators can achieve significant cost savings over acetylene without sacrificing the ability to cut through foot-thick steel sections.

Whether you are dismantling structural steel, processing heavy scrap, or preparing thick plates for welding, the Victor 10-HPN provides the durability and performance necessary to get the job done efficiently. Its two-piece design also allows for easier maintenance, as the outer shell can be replaced independently if damaged, extending the overall life of the consumable.
