CS11180 - Victor Style 1-118-0 Acetylene Gouging and Scarfing Tip Size 0

Specialized Victor Style 1-118-0 Gouging and Scarfing Tip

The Victor Style 1-118-0 Acetylene Gouging Tip (CS11180) is a high-performance consumable engineered for specialized oxy-fuel applications. Unlike standard cutting tips designed for straight severance, the 1-118 series is specifically contoured for deseaming, scarfing, gouging, and rivet washing. This makes it an essential tool for metalworkers who need to remove defective welds, prepare joints for re-welding, or wash away rivet heads without damaging the base material. Manufactured under the Cutskill trade name, this tip offers professional-grade reliability and precision flame control.

Designed for use with Acetylene gas, this Size 0 tip operates optimally with a cutting oxygen pressure of 25-35 PSIG and a fuel pressure of 3-5 PSIG. The unique geometry of the tip allows for a controlled wash of the metal, enabling the operator to manipulate the depth and width of the gouge effectively. With a travel speed rating of 20 to 28 inches per minute, it ensures efficient material removal, reducing downtime during repair and maintenance operations. The preheat oxygen consumption is balanced to provide quick starts and maintain the necessary puddle fluidity for smooth gouging action.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CS11180. It is designed to fit a wide range of Victor-style torch handles and attachments, including the H315FC, 315FC, and various cutting attachments like the CA2460 and CA2461. It also fits compatible machine torches such as the MT200 and MT300. This versatility ensures that shops equipped with standard Victor-style apparatus can expand their capabilities to include thermal gouging and scarfing simply by changing the tip, avoiding the expense of dedicated gouging equipment.

Whether you are performing structural repairs, removing old welds in a fabrication shop, or conducting field maintenance on heavy equipment, the Victor Style 1-118-0 tip provides the control and durability required for demanding industrial environments. Its robust construction withstands the heat and blowback associated with gouging operations, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance.
