CS11084 - Victor Cutskill 1-108-4 Acetylene Boiler Tip

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill CS11084

The Victor Cutskill CS11084 is a specialized heavy-duty cutting tip belonging to the 1-108 series, specifically engineered for the demanding application of boiler tube removal. Designated as a Size 4 tip, it offers a substantial cutting capacity, capable of severing material up to 3 inches (76mm) in thickness. This capability is critical for industrial maintenance operations where heavy-walled boiler tubes and headers must be excised efficiently. The tip is designed exclusively for use with Acetylene fuel gas, leveraging the high flame temperature and concentrated heat input characteristic of this fuel to ensure rapid preheating and clean severance of carbon steel materials.

A defining technical feature of the CS11084 is its geometry. The tip is manufactured with a shortened length compared to standard general-purpose cutting tips. This compact profile allows the operator to insert both the torch head and the tip directly inside the boiler tube, facilitating internal cutting operations that would be impossible with standard length consumables. The internal gas path geometry is optimized to maintain stable preheat flames and a coherent cutting oxygen stream even within the confined and often turbulent environment of a tube interior.

Compatibility is a key strength of the Victor Cutskill line. This tip is designed to interface seamlessly with a broad spectrum of Victor heavy-duty equipment. It is compatible with torch handles such as the H315FC and 315FC, as well as cutting attachments including the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree). Furthermore, it supports straight torches like the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and HC1200C, and machine torches including the MT200 and MT300. This universal fitment within the Victor ecosystem ensures that facilities already utilizing Victor apparatus can integrate this specialized boiler tip without requiring proprietary adapters or dedicated torch assemblies.

The CS11084 is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring a leak-proof seal at the torch head seating surface. The copper and brass construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate the intense reflected heat encountered during internal tube cutting, thereby prolonging the service life of the tip. For MRO professionals and industrial gas engineers, the CS11084 represents a targeted solution for boiler maintenance, combining the reliability of the Victor Cutskill brand with application-specific engineering.
