0387-0022 - Victor Size 2 Welding Nozzle for 300 Series Handles

Victor 0387-0022 2-W-CS Welding Nozzle Overview

The Victor 0387-0022 2-W-CS Welding Nozzle is a high-performance component designed for professional oxy-fuel welding applications. Part of the renowned Victor Professional W Series, this nozzle is engineered to deliver precise flame characteristics and reliable durability in industrial environments. The "CS" designation typically refers to the Clamshell packaging, ensuring the product arrives protected and ready for display or storage, while the core component remains the industry-standard 2-W nozzle. This specific model is a Size 2 tip, optimized for a specific range of material thicknesses, particularly noted for its capability with copper tubing ranging from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches.

One of the defining technical features of this nozzle is its "Long Cone" flame profile. This flame geometry provides excellent visibility of the weld puddle and allows for precise heat application, which is critical in general purpose welding and preheating tasks. The nozzle is constructed as a one-piece copper elbow tip, a design choice that enhances thermal conductivity and durability compared to multi-piece assemblies. The elbow angle is set at 65 degrees, providing an ergonomic working angle for the operator when attached to a straight torch handle or a cutting attachment.

Internally, the Victor 2-W-CS utilizes an individual spiral mixer. This advanced mixing technology ensures optimum blending of the fuel gas (Acetylene or Hydrogen) and oxygen, resulting in a stable, consistent flame that resists flashbacks and popping. The assembly also features a brass coupling nut equipped with a built-in snap ring. This snap ring serves a dual purpose: it protects the delicate cone end of the nozzle from damage when not in use, and it facilitates a secure connection. Furthermore, the nozzle stem is fitted with a double O-ring seal. This design feature allows for a gas-tight connection to the torch handle that can be secured by hand, eliminating the need for a wrench and reducing wear on the torch threads.

Designed specifically for use with Victor 300 Series torch handles, this nozzle integrates seamlessly into existing heavy-duty Victor oxy-fuel setups. The robust construction, combining copper and brass, ensures resistance to heat and mechanical impact, making it suitable for heavy-duty workloads in structural steel fabrication, repair, and maintenance.
