CS11182 - Victor Style 1-118-2 Acetylene Gouging & Scarfing Tip, Size 2

Technical Overview of the Victor Style 1-118-2 Gouging Tip

The Victor Style 1-118-2 (CS11182) is a specialized oxy-acetylene tip belonging to the Series 1 Type 118 family, engineered specifically for surface metal removal applications such as deseaming, scarfing, gouging, and rivet washing. Unlike standard straight-bore cutting tips designed for severing metal, the 1-118 series features a geometry optimized to wash away metal from the surface, making it indispensable for weld preparation and the removal of defective welds.

This Size 2 tip is calibrated for use with Acetylene gas. It requires a cutting oxygen pressure range of 35 to 45 PSIG with a flow rate of 140 to 160 SCFH. The preheat oxygen requirement is relatively low, operating between 4 to 12 PSIG (11-20 SCFH), ensuring a stable preheat flame without excessive gas consumption. The fuel gas (Acetylene) should be set between 3 to 7 PSIG with a flow rate of 10 to 18 SCFH. When operated within these parameters, the tip achieves a travel speed of approximately 13 to 19 inches per minute, depending on the depth of the gouge and operator technique.

The CS11182 is designed to fit standard heavy-duty Victor torch handles and cutting attachments, specifically the 300 Series. Compatible models include the H315FC and 315FC torch handles, as well as CA2460, CA2461, and CA2462 cutting attachments. It is also suitable for use with straight torches like the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and HC1200C, and machine torches such as the MT200 and MT300. This broad compatibility ensures that the tip can be integrated into existing industrial setups without the need for specialized adapters.

Constructed to meet rigorous industrial standards, this tip provides a cutting/gouging capacity of approximately 1 inch (25.4mm). It is an essential consumable for MRO professionals involved in structural steel repair, shipyard maintenance, and heavy fabrication where precise metal removal is critical.
