W-1-4 - Victor Style W-1 Size 4 Oxy-Acetylene Welding Nozzle

Technical Overview of the W-1-4 Welding Tip

The W-1-4 Welding Tip is a precision-manufactured consumable designed for oxy-acetylene welding applications. Engineered to be fully compatible with Victor 100 Series torch handles, this tip adheres to the W-1 series specifications, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable gas flow. The tip features a one-piece copper construction, which provides excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to heat deformation during prolonged use.

This specific model is a Size #4, which is calibrated to handle medium-duty welding tasks. It is typically rated for welding steel thicknesses of approximately 1/4 inch (6.4mm). The internal geometry of the tip is designed to produce a long cone flame, ideal for focusing heat into the weld puddle while maintaining visibility. The connection end utilizes a double O-ring seating mechanism to prevent gas leaks and ensure safety during operation.

Operators should ensure they are using this tip with an appropriate mixer and handle assembly. The W-1 series is specifically optimized for acetylene gas; use with alternative fuel gases may result in poor flame characteristics or equipment damage. This aftermarket replacement meets or exceeds OEM specifications for flow rate and flame stability.
