0333-0284 - Victor Size 2 HPP Propylene Cutting Tip Assembly

Technical Overview of the Victor 2-HPP Cutting Tip

The Victor 0333-0284 is a Size 2, Type HPP cutting tip assembly engineered specifically for use with Propylene fuel gas. As part of the High Performance Propylene (HPP) series, this consumable is designed to maximize the thermal efficiency of alternative fuels, providing the high heat output necessary for demanding industrial applications. The tip features a two-piece assembly construction, typical for alternative fuel tips, which allows for easier cleaning and replacement of the internal splined insert if necessary, although it is sold as a complete assembly.

Technically, this tip is rated for cutting mild steel with a thickness range of 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches (25-38 mm). It operates optimally within a cutting oxygen pressure range of 35 to 45 PSIG and a fuel gas pressure range of 3 to 8 PSIG. The design facilitates a cutting speed of approximately 12 to 18 inches per minute, depending on the specific material conditions and operator technique. The HPP series is characterized by its heavy preheat capability, making it distinct from general-purpose tips. This heavy preheat flame characteristic is achieved through the specific porting of the tip, allowing for rapid starts on plate and effective maintenance of the cut puddle even on dirty or coated steels often found in scrap and demolition work.

The 0333-0284 fits standard Victor heavy-duty cutting attachments and straight torches (typically the 300 series or compatible equipment). It is essential to ensure that the torch is equipped with the proper gas mixer or injector suited for propylene gas to ensure safety and performance. This tip is not suitable for Acetylene gas. The robust construction ensures longevity in harsh industrial environments, maintaining consistent flame characteristics over its service life.
