The Heavy Duty Propane / Natural Gas Cutting Tip V*Star 1-GPN stands as a pinnacle of thermal cutting engineering, meticulously crafted to transform your metal fabrication processes. When you examine this cutting nozzle, the substantial weight and flawless finish of the solid copper bar stock immediately convey its industrial-grade durability. During operation, the precisely milled internal splines channel the mixed gases to produce a distinct, sharply defined preheat flame that emits a steady, powerful hum. This highly concentrated thermal profile rapidly brings even heavily scaled, painted, or rusted steel plates to kindling temperature, allowing the high-velocity oxygen stream to slice through dense metal with butter-like smoothness. By upgrading to these premium nozzles, fabrication facilities experience a drastic reduction in slag accumulation, minimizing the need for labor-intensive secondary grinding tasks. The heavy-duty two-piece architecture not only facilitates effortless cleaning but also optimizes heat dissipation during prolonged, high-temperature cutting cycles. Whether your operators are executing intricate manual cuts or managing automated track torches, this cutting tip delivers a flawless, mirror-like kerf that minimizes material waste, enhances structural integrity, and maximizes overall operational throughput.
Selecting the correct parameters is crucial for achieving clean cuts and maintaining operational safety. The tables below detail the exact specifications for both our standard and custom black nickel-plated cutting nozzles. These precise measurements guide engineers and procurement managers in matching the right tip size to specific plate thicknesses, ensuring optimal gas flow and cutting efficiency across all heavy-duty applications.

To further assist procurement teams and industrial engineers in their evaluation process, we have compiled detailed answers to the most technical inquiries regarding the V*Star 1-GPN cutting tips.
The two-piece heavy-duty design is specifically engineered for LP gases like Propane and Natural Gas. Because these gases have a lower burning velocity than acetylene, they require a different mixing dynamic. The two-piece structure features a splined inner core and a hollow outer shell, creating a larger mixing chamber that stabilizes the preheat flame. Furthermore, this design allows operators to easily separate the components for thorough cleaning of the internal splines, significantly extending the usable life of the consumable.
The custom Black Nickel Plated finish is not merely aesthetic; it is a highly functional surface treatment. In heavy-duty applications, molten steel spatter frequently adheres to standard brass or copper tips, eventually clogging the orifices and distorting the flame. The black nickel coating creates a slick, heat-resistant barrier that drastically reduces spatter adhesion. Additionally, it provides superior resistance to oxidation and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for facilities operating in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres.
Absolutely. The V*Star 1-GPN is manufactured with exacting tolerances that make it perfectly suitable for automated machine cutting systems. Because CNC machines rely on consistent flame geometry and predictable gas flow to maintain precise kerf widths, the micro-machined orifices of our nozzles ensure that the thermal profile remains identical from the first cut to the thousandth. They are a direct fit for compatible machine torches, requiring no specialized adapters.
For cutting a 50mm (approximately 2-inch) steel plate, you should refer to our precise specification table. Based on the data, the 3-GPN tip is the optimal choice, as it covers the 40-60mm thickness range. When using the 3-GPN, you should regulate your cutting oxygen to between 40 and 45 psig, and your fuel gas (Propane/Natural Gas) to between 4 and 9 psig. Maintaining these specific parameters ensures rapid preheating and a clean, dross-free cut.
Yes, the V*Star 1-GPN cutting tips are engineered as perfect, direct drop-in replacements for VICTOR® 1 Series and 2400 series equipment. The seating angles, threading, and overall dimensions are meticulously machined to match the OEM specifications. Procurement managers can confidently integrate these tips into their existing inventory without the need to modify torch heads or retrain operators, instantly realizing cost savings on consumables.
