0323-0132 - Victor 6-W Size 6 Welding Tip for 300 Series Handles

Technical Overview of the Victor 6-W Welding Nozzle

The Victor 6-W Welding Nozzle (SKU: 0323-0132) is a precision-engineered component designed for heavy-duty oxy-fuel applications. Part of the renowned W Series, this nozzle is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene and Hydrogen fuel gases. It is compatible exclusively with Victor 300 Series torch handles, ensuring a secure fit and optimal gas flow dynamics. The nozzle features a physical length of approximately 4-1/2 inches and utilizes a 65-degree tip angle, which is standard for general-purpose welding and preheating tasks.

Technically, the 6-W distinguishes itself with a one-piece swaged copper elbow. Unlike drilled tips, the swaging process creates a smoother internal surface finish, promoting laminar gas flow and reducing turbulence before the ignition point. This construction also maximizes thermal conductivity, allowing the tip to run cooler during extended operation. Central to its performance is the individual spiral mixer located within the assembly. This mixer is designed to blend oxygen and fuel gas thoroughly, producing a stable, high-temperature flame with a long cone profile. The optimized mixing ratio ensures efficient fuel consumption and reduces the likelihood of flashbacks.

The assembly includes a brass coupling nut equipped with a built-in snap ring. This mechanical feature serves to protect the cone end of the nozzle when not in use or during storage. Furthermore, the connection interface utilizes a double O-ring seal system. This design provides a redundant gas-tight seal that eliminates the requirement for wrench-tightening, thereby preventing thread damage and reducing setup time. All units are 100% flame tested by the manufacturer to verify flow rates and seal integrity prior to shipment.
