CSHPN12 - Victor HPN-12 Heavy Duty Propane Scrap Cutting Tip

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill CSHPN12

The Victor Cutskill CSHPN12 is a specialized heavy-duty cutting tip belonging to the HPN series, designed explicitly for use with Propane and Natural Gas. This tip is engineered to address the specific thermal requirements of alternative fuels, providing a heavy preheat flame characteristic. The "Heavy Preheat" designation indicates that this tip is optimized for applications where rapid heat transfer is necessary to initiate the cut, particularly on materials that may be coated, rusty, or exceptionally thick. With a Tip Size of 12, this component represents the upper echelon of cutting capacity in the Cutskill line, rated for material thicknesses up to 22 inches (approx. 558 mm).

Structurally, the CSHPN12 utilizes a Type 1 design configuration. It is fully compatible with a wide range of Victor heavy-duty equipment, ensuring versatility across different torch setups. It fits standard heavy-duty handles such as the 315FC and H315FC, as well as dedicated straight torches like the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and the high-capacity HC1200C. Furthermore, it is suitable for use with cutting attachments including the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree). For automated or mechanized applications, the tip is also compatible with MT200 and MT300 machine torches.

The nozzle geometry is precision-machined to maintain a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream over long distances, which is critical when severing materials of such significant gauge. By utilizing propane, operators can achieve cost savings compared to acetylene, while the HPN design compensates for propane's lower primary flame temperature by delivering a higher volume of preheat BTU output. This makes the CSHPN12 an essential consumable for scrap yards, demolition sites, and heavy fabrication facilities requiring deep beveling or severance of massive steel sections.
