OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Cutting Performance with Victor 16-HDNL

The Victor 0330-0550 16-HDNL Heavy Duty Cutting Tip is a premium consumable designed for industrial environments requiring deep, reliable cuts using alternative fuels. As part of the renowned Victor 16-HDNL series, this Size 8 tip is engineered specifically for use with Natural Gas and Propane (LP), offering a cost-effective and high-performance alternative to acetylene for heavy section cutting. With a cutting capacity ranging from 10 inches (254 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm), this tip is an essential tool for scrap yards, steel mills, and heavy fabrication shops where processing thick steel plates and structures is a daily requirement.

Constructed with a robust two-piece design, the 16-HDNL features a heavy outer shell that protects the inner splines from damage and excessive heat buildup. This design is particularly beneficial when using slower-burning fuel gases like propane and natural gas, which require a specific preheat flame characteristic to maintain cutting speed and quality. The tip is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a powerful high-velocity oxygen stream that clears molten slag efficiently from deep kerfs. It is compatible with standard Victor heavy-duty hand torches and machine torches, ensuring seamless integration into existing oxy-fuel setups.

Safety and efficiency are paramount in heavy-duty cutting. The Victor 0330-0550 is designed to operate optimally with oxygen pressures between 65 and 75 PSIG and fuel pressures around 10 to 15 PSIG. By optimizing the gas mix for heavy-duty applications, this tip reduces the frequency of tip replacements and maintenance downtime. Whether you are dismantling heavy machinery, processing structural steel, or performing demolition work, the Victor 16-HDNL Size 8 tip delivers the consistent thermal output and cutting velocity needed to get the job done right.

Investing in genuine Victor consumables ensures that your equipment operates at peak efficiency. The 16-HDNL series is recognized for its longevity and resistance to flashback, provided it is used with the correct equipment settings. For operations transitioning to alternative fuels to reduce costs without sacrificing cutting depth, this tip represents the industry standard for heavy-duty performance.

FAQ

The 16-HDNL series is specifically designed for use with Natural Gas and Propane (LP). It is not suitable for Acetylene.

This Size 8 tip is rated to cut steel thicknesses between 10 inches (254 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm).

It fits Victor heavy-duty hand torches and machine torches that accept standard large-series cutting tips. It will not fit light-duty or medium-duty handles without appropriate heavy-duty attachments.

For a Size 8 tip, recommended pressures are typically Oxygen: 65-75 PSIG and Fuel (Propane/NG): 10-15 PSIG. Always consult the specific cut chart for your conditions.

The 16-HDNL is a two-piece cutting tip, consisting of an inner member (spline) and a heavy-duty outer shell, which is standard for alternative fuel tips.

For very thick steel (10"+), Propane/Natural Gas is often more economical and safer. This tip is optimized for those fuels, providing the necessary preheat volume that an acetylene tip cannot deliver with these gases.

No, this is a cutting tip. For gouging, you would need a specific gouging tip series designed for your torch.

HDNL stands for Heavy Duty Natural Gas / Liquid Propane.
