CSGPNP0 - Victor Style GPN Size 00 Propane Cutting Tip

Precision Cutting with Propane and Natural Gas

The Victor Style GPN-P-00 Chrome Plated Propane Cutting Tip is a high-performance consumable designed for fabricators and tradespeople who utilize alternative fuels for their oxy-fuel cutting processes. Unlike acetylene tips, this GPN (General Purpose Natural) series tip is engineered specifically for the combustion characteristics of propane and natural gas. The "00" size designation indicates it is optimized for light-duty work, making it perfect for cutting steel thicknesses ranging from approximately 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch (3mm to 6mm). This level of precision is essential for HVAC professionals, auto body repair technicians, and metal artists who require clean cuts on thinner gauge materials without excessive heat input or kerf width.

Two-Piece Design for Maximum Efficiency

One of the defining features of this cutting tip is its two-piece construction. Propane and natural gas burn at a slower rate than acetylene, requiring a different mixing and preheating strategy. This tip consists of a brass inner member with splined passages and a chrome-plated outer shell. The splines create a heavy preheat flame that anchors securely to the tip face, ensuring the fuel gas reaches ignition temperature effectively before the cutting oxygen stream is engaged. This design maximizes thermal efficiency, allowing for faster starts and smoother cuts even when using lower-cost fuel gases.

Durable Chrome Plating

Durability is a key concern in industrial environments, and this tip addresses that with its chrome-plated finish. While standard bare copper tips are susceptible to spatter adhesion and rapid oxidation, the chrome exterior of the GPN-P-00 provides a slick surface that resists molten slag. This makes cleaning the tip significantly easier and extends its service life. Additionally, the chrome finish reflects radiant heat away from the tip during operation, helping the nozzle run cooler and reducing the risk of overheating during prolonged cuts. Compatible with standard Victor-style torches and cutting attachments, this tip is a versatile and economical solution for any shop equipped with propane or natural gas setups.
