0330-0194 - Victor 3-1-303MP Propylene Cutting Tip, Size 3, Series 1

Precision Propylene Cutting with Victor 3-1-303MP

The Victor 3-1-303MP Cutting Tip (0330-0194) is a premium consumable designed specifically for professionals utilizing Propylene gas in their oxy-fuel cutting operations. As part of the renowned Victor product line, this tip exemplifies the brand's commitment to quality, durability, and performance. The "3-1-303MP" nomenclature identifies this as a Size 3 tip belonging to Series 1, engineered with the 303MP geometry optimized for alternative fuels like propylene.

One of the critical aspects of this cutting tip is its Series 1 classification. This means it is exclusively designed to fit Victor 100 Series torch handles, such as the popular 100FC or WH270FC-V. It is crucial for operators to verify their torch handle series before purchasing, as Series 1 tips are physically smaller than the Series 3 tips used on heavy-duty 300 Series handles. This specific tip is ideal for medium-duty applications where precision and maneuverability are key.

The Size 3 orifice provides a substantial cutting capacity, rated for metal thicknesses of approximately 2 inches (50mm). This makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of tasks, from cutting structural beams to general plate fabrication. Unlike acetylene tips which are typically one-piece, propylene tips like the 303MP often utilize a two-piece construction (an outer shell and an inner splined insert). This design is necessary to stabilize the flame of alternative fuels, which have different burning velocities compared to acetylene, ensuring a consistent preheat and a clean cut.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of using the correct consumables for your specific fuel gas. Using a tip designed for acetylene with propylene gas can lead to poor performance, flame instability, and safety hazards. The Victor 3-1-303MP is specifically calibrated to maximize the heat potential of propylene, providing fast preheat times and smooth cut faces. Whether you are performing repair work, maintenance, or light fabrication, this genuine Victor tip delivers the reliability you need to keep your projects moving forward.
