W-2 - Victor Style W-2 Oxy-Acetylene Welding Nozzle Size 2

Technical Overview of the Victor Style W-2 Welding Tip

The Victor Style W-2 Welding Tip (Internal SKU: GENW-2) is a high-performance replacement nozzle designed for heavy-duty oxy-acetylene welding and brazing applications. Engineered to replicate the flow characteristics and flame geometry of the original Victor W series, this tip is fully compatible with Victor 300 Series torch handles and associated mixers. It is manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, which provides excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to heat deformation during prolonged use.

This specific model is a Size #2 tip, calibrated for welding mild steel with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3.2mm). It features a swaged design with a precision-drilled orifice that produces a stable, long cone flame, ideal for controlling the weld puddle in various positions. The tip utilizes a double O-ring seating mechanism to ensure a gas-tight seal within the mixer or torch head, preventing dangerous backfires and leaks.

Operational Specifications

For optimal performance, the W-2 tip requires balanced pressure settings. The recommended oxygen pressure ranges from 3 to 5 PSIG, and the acetylene fuel pressure should also be set between 3 and 5 PSIG. Deviating significantly from these parameters may result in flame instability or flashback. This tip is strictly for use with Oxygen and Acetylene; it is not designed for alternate fuels such as Propane or Propylene, which require different tip geometries (such as TEN tips).

The GENW-2 is an essential component for industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and structural welding where the versatility of the 300 series torch platform is utilized. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, even in demanding environments.
