CSGPNP2 - Victor Style GPN Size 2 Propane Cutting Tip, Chrome Plated

Product Overview

The Victor Style GPN-P-2 Chrome Plated Propane Cutting Tip is a high-performance consumable designed for industrial oxy-fuel cutting applications. Engineered as a direct replacement for standard Victor GPN series tips, this model is optimized for use with alternative fuels such as Propane and Natural Gas. The "Size 2" classification indicates a cutting capacity range of approximately 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches (25mm to 38mm), making it an essential tool for medium-duty fabrication and demolition tasks.

Technical Design

Unlike acetylene tips, this GPN-P-2 tip utilizes a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with splines and a copper outer shell. This design creates a recess at the tip end, which anchors the preheat flame—a critical feature for maintaining stability with the lower flame propagation speeds of propane and natural gas. The tip features a durable chrome plating over the copper shell, which significantly reduces the adhesion of molten slag and spatter, thereby extending the lifespan of the tip and simplifying maintenance.

Compatibility and Performance

This cutting nozzle is compatible with all standard Victor-style cutting attachments and hand torches that accept GPN series tips (e.g., CA2460, CA1350). It requires a standard oxygen and fuel gas setup, typically operating with cutting oxygen pressures around 35-40 PSIG and fuel pressures between 5-10 PSIG (consult specific torch charts for precise settings). The precision-drilled orifices ensure a clean, consistent oxygen jet for smooth cuts with minimal kerf.
