0331-0018 - Victor 3-101 Size 5 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Genuine Victor 5-3-101 Acetylene Cutting Tip (0331-0018)

The Victor 0331-0018 is a premium Size 5 cutting tip from the renowned 3-101 series, designed specifically for oxy-acetylene cutting applications. Engineered by Victor Technologies, a leader in gas equipment, this tip represents the gold standard for general purpose hand and machine cutting. It is constructed from a single piece of high-grade copper, ensuring maximum conductivity and longevity even under the intense thermal stress of heavy cutting operations. The one-piece design also simplifies maintenance and improves safety by reducing potential leak points compared to multi-piece alternatives.

With a substantial cutting capacity of 5 inches (approximately 127mm), the Size 5 tip is a powerhouse for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and industrial maintenance teams. It is designed to fit Victor 300 Series cutting attachments, as well as the 1200 and 1300 series, making it a versatile addition to many existing torch setups. The tip operates efficiently with a cutting oxygen pressure range of 50-55 PSIG and an acetylene pressure of 5-13 PSIG, delivering a cutting speed of 7 to 9 inches per minute. This balance of speed and power ensures that operators can work productively without sacrificing cut quality.

Proper gas settings are crucial for optimal performance. This tip requires a preheat oxygen pressure of 7-20 PSIG to establish a neutral flame before engaging the cutting jet. The precision-drilled orifices ensure a uniform preheat flame pattern, which is essential for quick starts and maintaining the cut on thick plates. Whether you are cutting structural steel, performing demolition work, or resizing heavy stock, the Victor 5-3-101 provides the reliability and precision professionals demand. Always ensure your torch handle and regulators are rated for the pressures required by this size tip to maintain safety and efficiency.
