OVERVIEW

Precision Oxy-Acetylene Welding Nozzle

The W-1-3 Welding Tip is a high-performance generic replacement component designed to meet the rigorous standards of professional oxy-fuel welding. Engineered to be fully compatible with Victor 100 Series torch handles, this tip replicates the flow characteristics and flame geometry of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. It is manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, which provides superior thermal conductivity, ensuring that the tip remains cool during extended operation and reducing the risk of flashback caused by overheating.

This specific model is a Size #3, which is calibrated for welding mild steel with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3.2mm). The internal bore is precision-drilled and swaged to produce a long, defined inner cone, allowing for precise heat localization and puddle control. The W-1 series design integrates the mixer and tip into a single assembly in some configurations, or works seamlessly with the handle's mixing chamber to ensure the proper stoichiometric ratio of oxygen to acetylene. This results in a neutral flame that is easily adjustable and stable, minimizing oxidation of the weld pool.

Ideal for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments, as well as light fabrication, this tip offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on safety or performance. The seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to ensure a gas-tight seal with the torch handle, preventing hazardous leaks. Whether used for fusion welding, brazing, or heating applications, the W-1-3 delivers consistent results.

FAQ

This tip is designed to fit Victor 100 Series torch handles and compatible Victor-style medium-duty handles.

A size #3 welding tip is generally rated for welding steel approximately 1/8 inch (3.2mm) thick.

No, the W-1 series tips are specifically designed for Oxy-Acetylene gas. Using propane requires a different tip design (typically a two-piece tip) to maintain the flame.

The W-1 style is a nozzle that typically relies on the mixer integrated into the torch handle or a separate mixer assembly depending on the specific handle model, but the tip itself is a single piece.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Find the wire size that fits the #3 orifice snugly but without forcing it, and file gently to remove carbon buildup or spatter.

No, this is a high-quality generic replacement part manufactured to Victor specifications ('Victor Style').

For a #3 tip, a common starting point is approximately 3-5 PSI for both Oxygen and Acetylene, though you should always consult your specific torch manual.

Yes, a #3 tip is excellent for brazing applications on materials of appropriate thickness.
