CSGPN6 - Victor Cutskill GPN-6 Propane & Natural Gas Cutting Tip, Size 6

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill CSGPN6

The Victor Cutskill CSGPN6 is a Size 6 General Purpose (GPN) cutting tip engineered specifically for use with alternative fuel gases, primarily Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike acetylene tips, GPN series tips typically feature a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with splines for preheat gas flow and a copper outer shell. This design is essential for stabilizing the flame of slower-burning fuel gases like propane, ensuring a consistent and hot preheat flame necessary for piercing and maintaining the cut on heavy steel plates.

This specific tip, the GPN-6, is rated for a substantial cutting capacity, capable of severing material between 6 inches (152mm) and 8 inches (203mm) in thickness. It is designed to operate with heavy-duty torch handles and cutting attachments. Specifically, it fits the Victor 300 Series ecosystem, including the 315FC and H315FC torch handles, as well as the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree) cutting attachments. It is also compatible with straight torches such as the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and HC1200C, and machine torches like the MT200 and MT300.

The CSGPN6 is part of the Cutskill line, which offers a balance of professional-grade performance and value. The tip geometry is optimized to maintain a stable preheat flame even in windy conditions or when the tip is subjected to reflected heat during deep pocket cutting. Operators should ensure their regulator settings are adjusted for the higher oxygen volumes typically required for propane cutting compared to acetylene, particularly for a tip of this size which demands significant oxidation flow to clear the kerf in 8-inch steel.
