CSHPN4 - Victor Cutskill HPN-4 Propane Cutting Tip Size 4

Victor Cutskill CSHPN4 Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip

The Victor Cutskill CSHPN4 is a specialized heavy-duty cutting tip designed explicitly for propane gas applications. Part of the renowned Victor Cutskill line, this HPN-4 series tip is engineered to deliver superior performance in industrial environments where heavy preheat is required. The "HPN" designation indicates a design optimized for alternative fuels like propane/natural gas, featuring a two-piece construction that facilitates the specific combustion requirements of these gases compared to acetylene. This specific model, the Size 4, provides a substantial cutting capacity, capable of severing materials up to 3 inches (76mm) in thickness, making it an essential consumable for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and heavy industrial maintenance operations.

One of the standout features of the CSHPN4 is its heavy preheat capability. Propane, while cost-effective and readily available, has a lower flame temperature than acetylene and requires a tip design that maximizes heat transfer to the workpiece. The CSHPN4 excels in this regard, producing a robust preheat flame that quickly brings steel to its kindling temperature, even when the material is rusted, painted, or coated—conditions often encountered in scrap cutting and demolition. This makes it particularly effective for beveling operations where consistent heat input is critical for a clean edge.

Compatibility is a key strength of the Victor Cutskill series. This tip is designed to fit a wide array of industry-standard Victor torch handles and cutting attachments. It seamlessly integrates with the H315FC and 315FC torch handles, as well as the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree) cutting attachments. Furthermore, it is compatible with straight torches such as the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and the HC1200C, along with MT200 and MT300 machine torches. This versatility ensures that facilities utilizing Victor equipment can standardize their consumables inventory with the CSHPN4 for their heavy propane cutting needs.

In summary, the Victor CSHPN4 offers a blend of durability, efficiency, and power. By utilizing propane, operators can reduce fuel costs without sacrificing the ability to tackle thick plate and structural steel. The tip's robust construction ensures a long service life, provided it is maintained correctly, making it a smart investment for high-volume cutting operations.
