0333-0283 - Victor Size 1 HPP Propylene Cutting Tip

Victor 1-HPP Propylene Cutting Tip Assembly

The Victor 0333-0283 1-HPP Cutting Tip Assembly is a specialized consumable designed specifically for oxy-fuel cutting applications utilizing Propylene gas. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, the HPP series is distinct from standard acetylene or propane tips, offering geometry optimized for the specific combustion characteristics of propylene. This Size 1 tip is rated to cut steel with a thickness of 3/4 inch (approximately 19mm), making it a versatile choice for general fabrication, structural work, and maintenance operations.

One of the defining features of the HPP series is its heavy preheat capability. Propylene burns with a different heat distribution than acetylene, and the HPP design maximizes this thermal energy to quickly bring the base metal to kindling temperature. This makes the 1-HPP particularly effective for scrap cutting, beveling, and working on materials that may have surface contaminants like rust, scale, or paint, where a robust preheat flame is essential for maintaining a continuous cut. The tip supports a cutting speed of 15 to 20 inches per minute, ensuring efficient workflow in industrial environments.

Operational parameters are critical for safety and performance. The Victor 1-HPP requires a cutting oxygen pressure of 30-35 PSIG and a fuel gas pressure of 3-6 PSIG. Adhering to these specifications ensures a clean kerf, minimal slag accumulation, and prevents backfires or overheating of the torch head. As a genuine Victor part, this tip assembly is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring a proper seal with compatible Victor torch heads and consistent gas flow characteristics. Whether used in a hand torch for field repairs or a machine setup for consistent bevels, the 0333-0283 delivers reliable performance for professionals relying on propylene fuel gas.
