WYP4 - Wypo King Size Extra Long Tip Cleaner Set #77-#49

Precision Maintenance for Oxy-Fuel Equipment

The Wypo King Size Tip Cleaner (SKU: WYP4) is a premium maintenance tool designed for professional welders and fabricators who demand precision and longevity from their oxy-fuel cutting and welding equipment. Manufactured by Maitlen & Benson, the Wypo brand is synonymous with quality in the welding industry. This specific "King Size" set is engineered to address the limitations of standard-length cleaners, offering extended reach capabilities that are essential for maintaining modern, high-performance torch tips.

The defining feature of the WYP4 set is the wire length. At approximately 4.5 inches long, these cleaners are significantly longer than standard sets. This extended length allows the user to clean the tip from the back end (the seat), pushing debris out the front, which is often the preferred method to prevent impacting debris further into the gas mixing chamber. It also enables the cleaning of long-reach cutting tips and heating nozzles that standard cleaners simply cannot penetrate fully.

The set includes 13 stainless steel wires covering a drill size range of #77 to #49. Each wire is precision-ground rather than twisted. This manufacturing distinction is critical; Wypo cleaners act as tiny polishers that remove carbon and slag without cutting into the brass tip or altering the orifice diameter. This preserves the flame geometry and ensures a stable, neutral flame. The wires feature a smooth pilot guide at the tip, which prevents the cleaner from jamming or snapping off inside the orifice upon insertion.

Housed in a lightweight yet durable aluminum case, the set is protected from workshop grime and moisture. The case also integrates a flat file, allowing operators to dress the face of the tip, removing spatter and flattening the end to ensure a crisp pre-heat flame cone. For industrial MRO inventories, the Wypo King Size represents the gold standard in torch maintenance.
