CS3GPN00 - Victor Cutskill 3-GPN-00 Propane Cutting Tip Size 00

Victor Cutskill 3-GPN-00 Propane Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor Cutskill 3-GPN-00 is a high-performance cutting tip engineered specifically for use with Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas and Natural Gas. As part of the renowned Cutskill line, this GPN series tip is designed to deliver reliable, general-purpose cutting capabilities for industrial and maintenance applications. The "Type 3" configuration is optimized for alternative fuels, ensuring a stable preheat flame and efficient oxygen stream that differs from standard acetylene tips. This specific model, the Size 00, is calibrated for cutting steel with a material thickness of approximately 1/4 inch, making it an essential consumable for light-to-medium duty fabrication tasks.

Compatibility is a key strength of the CS3GPN00. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with a broad array of Victor torch handles and cutting attachments, ensuring versatility across different equipment setups. It is fully compatible with the 315FC Heavy Duty Handle when paired with the CA2470-90 Cutting Attachment. For medium-duty applications, it fits the 100FC Handle using CA1350-90, CA1351-75, or CA1352-180 attachments. Furthermore, it supports lighter duty setups involving J-40 and J28 handles equipped with the CA1260-90 attachment, as well as the CST800FC Strait Torch. This extensive compatibility makes it a universal solution for shops running Victor equipment.

When using propane or natural gas for cutting, the design of the tip is critical. The GPN series typically utilizes a two-piece construction (an outer shell and an inner member) to protect the tip end from the intense heat reflected during the slower preheat times associated with propane, although the specific construction details should be verified physically. The 3-GPN-00 ensures that operators can achieve clean, slag-free cuts on 1/4" plate without the higher cost of acetylene fuel. Proper maintenance of the tip face and orifices using standard tip cleaners will prolong the life of this consumable and maintain the quality of the cut.

Whether utilized in a machine torch setup for automated cutting or a hand torch for manual fabrication, the Victor 3-GPN-00 provides consistent gas flow and flame characteristics. It is an ideal choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments where propane is the preferred fuel gas due to its availability and safety profile. Ensure your gas pressures are set according to Victor's charts for Size 00 tips to maximize efficiency and safety.
