CS31015 - Victor Cutskill 3-101-5 Acetylene Cutting Tip, Size 5

Precision Acetylene Cutting with Victor Cutskill 3-101-5

The Victor Cutskill CS31015 (3-101-5) is a high-performance acetylene cutting tip designed to deliver clean, consistent cuts on material thicknesses up to 5 inches. Engineered as part of the renowned Cutskill line, this tip combines Victor's legacy of gas apparatus expertise with a value-oriented design suitable for both professional fabrication and general maintenance applications. The 3-101 series is specifically calibrated for medium-duty equipment, making it an essential consumable for workshops utilizing Victor 100 series handles.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the 3-101-5 features a one-piece design that withstands high heat and resists spatter adhesion. The internal geometry is precision-drilled to ensure a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream, which is critical for maintaining cut quality on thicker sections of mild steel. By optimizing the flow of acetylene and oxygen, this tip maximizes fuel efficiency while providing the thermal intensity required for deep penetration cuts.

Compatibility and Applications

This tip is designed for versatility across a range of Victor medium-duty equipment. It is directly compatible with the 100FC medium-duty handle when paired with appropriate cutting attachments such as the CA1350-90, CA1351-75, and CA1352-180. Additionally, it fits the J-40 and J-28 handles equipped with the CA1260-90 attachment. For users with the CST800FC Strait Torch, this tip serves as a direct replacement. It is also compatible with certain heavy-duty setups like the 315FC handle when used specifically with the CA2470-90 cutting attachment, offering flexibility for shops with mixed equipment inventories.

Operational Safety and Performance

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel cutting, and using genuine Victor Cutskill tips ensures proper seating and sealing within the torch head. The 3-101-5 is manufactured to strict tolerances to prevent gas leaks and flashbacks. Its size 5 orifice is rated for heavy material removal, making it ideal for structural steel demolition, heavy equipment repair, and scrap cutting where deep severance is required. Operators can rely on the consistent flame characteristics to produce smooth kerfs with minimal slag accumulation, reducing post-cut grinding time.
