0330-0197 - Victor Size 6 Propylene Cutting Tip 1-303MP Series

Heavy-Duty Propylene Cutting with Victor 6-1-303MP

The Victor 0330-0197 6-1-303MP Cutting Tip is a premium industrial consumable designed for heavy-duty cutting applications using Propylene or MAPP gas. Engineered by Victor, a global leader in gas equipment, this tip belongs to the 1-303MP series, which is specifically calibrated to maximize the thermal efficiency of alternative fuels. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the 303MP series features a two-piece design with a splined brass inner insert and a copper outer shell, ensuring a stable, high-velocity preheat flame necessary for piercing and cutting thick materials.

This specific model is a Size 6 tip, representing the upper echelon of hand-cutting capacity. It is rated to cut carbon steel ranging from 6 inches to 8 inches (approximately 150mm to 200mm) in thickness. This makes it an essential tool for demolition crews, heavy fabrication shops, scrap yards, and structural steelworkers who require deep cutting penetration without sacrificing cut quality. The tip is designed to fit Victor 300 Series torch handles and cutting attachments, which are the industry standard for heavy-duty oxy-fuel equipment.

Technical Performance and Compatibility

Using the correct tip for your fuel gas is critical for safety and performance. The 6-1-303MP is strictly for use with Propylene or MAPP gas; it should not be used with Acetylene. The tip requires appropriate oxygen and fuel pressure settings to maintain a neutral flame and prevent backfires. For a Size 6 tip, operators typically run oxygen pressures between 65-75 PSIG and fuel pressures around 10-15 PSIG, though specific settings should always be verified against the Victor cutting chart for the specific working conditions.

Durability is a hallmark of the Victor brand. The 0330-0197 is manufactured with high-quality alloys that resist heat deformation and spatter adhesion. The seats are precision-machined to ensure a gas-tight seal with the torch head, reducing the risk of leaks and flashbacks. Whether you are severing I-beams or processing heavy scrap, the Victor 6-1-303MP delivers consistent, reliable performance in the most demanding industrial environments.
