CS42033 - Victor Cutskill 4203-3 Acetylene Cutting Tip for Purox Torches

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill CS42033

The Victor Cutskill CS42033 is a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal cutting. Modeled after the Purox 4203 series, this tip is engineered specifically for Acetylene gas applications. The 'Size 3' designation indicates a calibrated orifice structure capable of severing carbon steel plates up to 1-1/2 inches (approximately 38mm) in thickness. This component is manufactured using high-grade copper alloy, which provides superior thermal conductivity, reducing the risk of tip overheating during prolonged cutting operations.

Technically, the CS42033 features a one-piece design common to acetylene tips, where the preheat orifices and the cutting oxygen bore are machined into a single solid copper body. This swaged design optimizes gas flow dynamics, ensuring a laminar cutting stream and a concentric preheat flame. The tip is compatible with standard Purox-style torch heads, including models such as the Type E, C-205, CW-200, CW-202, and CW-300. Operators should set oxygen pressures between 45-50 PSIG and fuel pressures between 5-10 PSIG to achieve optimal flame chemistry and cut quality.

Reliability is a cornerstone of the Cutskill line. By adhering to strict dimensional tolerances, Victor ensures that the CS42033 seats perfectly within the torch head, preventing dangerous gas leaks or flashbacks. The tip's face is finished to resist slag adherence, simplifying maintenance and extending the service life of the consumable. For MRO professionals sourcing reliable alternatives to OEM parts, the CS42033 presents a specification-compliant solution that integrates seamlessly into existing Purox equipment setups.
