CSGPP2 - Victor Style GPP-2 Propylene Cutting Tip Size 2

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill GPP-2

The Victor Cutskill GPP-2 (SKU: CSGPP2) is a specialized cutting tip engineered for use with Propylene fuel gas. As part of the GPP series, this tip is designed to handle general-purpose cutting tasks with a high degree of efficiency and thermal stability. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the GPP-2 utilizes a design geometry specifically optimized for the combustion characteristics of propylene, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a clean, oxidized cutting stream. This specific model is a Size 2 tip, which is rated for cutting material thicknesses up to approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm), making it a versatile choice for medium-duty fabrication and demolition work.

The tip features a robust construction compatible with a wide array of Victor-style torch handles and cutting attachments. It is explicitly designed to interface with the Victor 300 Series and 100 Series equipment. This includes popular handle models such as the 315FC and H315FC, as well as cutting attachments like the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree). Furthermore, it is suitable for use with straight torches including the ST2600FC, ST100FC, and ST900FC, and even machine torches like the MT200 and MT300. This broad compatibility ensures that the CSGPP2 can be integrated into existing industrial setups without the need for specialized adapters.

Propylene burns with a different stoichiometric ratio and heat distribution compared to acetylene or propane. The GPP-2 tip addresses this by employing a specific preheat hole configuration that maximizes the heat transfer from the propylene flame to the base metal. This results in faster start times and a more consistent cut quality, reducing the likelihood of slag adhesion and the need for extensive post-cut grinding. The tip is manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring concentricity of the cutting oxygen orifice for a straight, non-turbulent stream that is critical for precision cutting in both manual and mechanized applications.

In industrial MRO contexts, selecting the correct tip for the specific fuel gas is paramount for safety and performance. Using an acetylene tip with propylene can lead to overheating and backfires, while using a propane tip might not utilize the full heat potential of propylene. The Victor Cutskill GPP-2 bridges this gap, providing a dedicated solution for shops utilizing propylene for its safety benefits and high heat output. Its heavy-duty design withstands the rigors of daily use, making it a reliable consumable for structural steel work, scrap cutting, and general maintenance repairs.
