CS31012 - Victor CutSkill 3-101-2 Acetylene Cutting Tip, Size 2

Precision Acetylene Cutting for General Fabrication

The Victor Style 3-101-2 Cutting Tip (SKU: CS31012) represents a standard of reliability in the oxy-fuel cutting industry. Part of the widely utilized 3-101 series, this tip is engineered specifically for use with acetylene gas, providing a high-intensity preheat flame ideal for piercing and cutting mild steel. With a designated tip size of 2, it is calibrated to effectively cut material thicknesses up to 1-1/2 inches (approximately 38mm), making it a staple consumable for medium-duty fabrication, structural steel work, and general maintenance applications.

Manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, the tip features a one-piece copper alloy construction. This design choice maximizes thermal conductivity, ensuring the tip remains cooler during extended operation compared to multi-piece alternatives, thereby reducing the risk of flashback and extending the service life of the consumable. The internal geometry is precision-machined to deliver a smooth, laminar gas flow, resulting in a stable cutting stream that produces clean, slag-free edges requiring minimal post-cut grinding.

This cutting tip is designed for versatility, fitting a broad range of Victor-style torch handles and cutting attachments commonly found in workshops across North America. Whether utilized in a hand-held torch for on-site repairs or mounted in a machine torch for automated straight-line cutting, the 3-101-2 delivers consistent performance. It is an essential component for professionals seeking to maintain high productivity and cut quality in their oxy-acetylene operations.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The CS31012 is compatible with Victor 100 series handles (and equivalent "medium duty" setups) as well as various other torch bodies that accept the 3-101 style seating. Operators should ensure their regulator settings are adjusted to the manufacturer's recommended pressures—typically ranging between 3-5 PSIG for acetylene and 35-40 PSIG for oxygen for a size 2 tip—to achieve optimal flame characteristics and safety.
