CSMTHN2 - Victor MTHN-2 Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 2

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill CSMTHN2

The Victor Cutskill CSMTHN2 is a specialized oxy-fuel cutting tip belonging to the MTHN series, engineered specifically for use with propane gas. As a Size 2 consumable, this tip is calibrated to cut mild steel with a thickness of approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm). The design architecture of the MTHN series prioritizes "heavy preheat" capabilities. Unlike standard general-purpose tips, the heavy preheat configuration provides a more robust flame envelope, which is critical when utilizing alternate fuels like propane that have a lower flame temperature in the primary cone compared to acetylene. This thermal characteristic ensures that the base metal reaches ignition temperature rapidly, even when the surface is compromised by rust, scale, or coatings.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CSMTHN2. It is designed to interface seamlessly with a broad range of Victor industrial equipment. This includes the heavy-duty 315FC and H315FC torch handles when paired with compatible cutting attachments such as the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree). Furthermore, it is directly compatible with Victor straight torches including the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and the high-capacity HC1200C. For automated or semi-automated applications, this tip also fits MT200 and MT300 machine torches, providing versatility across manual and mechanized cutting operations.

The tip is classified as Type 1 and is constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. The separation of preheat gases and cutting oxygen is managed precisely to maintain flame stability and cut quality. By utilizing propane, operators can take advantage of a more economical fuel source without sacrificing cut performance on thicker or dirtier materials, provided the correct consumable—such as this heavy preheat MTHN tip—is employed. The CSMTHN2 represents a balance of performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and demolition sites requiring reliable 1.5-inch cutting capacity.
