Forney Industries 86119 Oxy-acetylene Tip Cleaner 20 Piece

Product Description

The Forney Industries 86119 is a long-style oxy-acetylene tip cleaner set designed to remove carbon buildup, slag, and debris from welding and cutting torch tips. Keeping tip orifices clear is essential for maintaining a clean, stable flame and preventing backfire during operation. This set includes 20 individual cleaners, giving technicians multiple file sizes to match a range of tip orifice diameters. Welders, pipefitters, and plumbers working with oxy-acetylene cutting and welding equipment will find this kit a standard part of torch maintenance on the job or in the shop.

Oxy-acetylene tip cleaners are used in welding shops, fabrication facilities, HVAC service, and plumbing applications wherever gas welding or cutting torches are in regular service. A clogged or damaged tip orifice causes uneven flame shape, increased gas consumption, and elevated backfire risk. Regular tip cleaning with the correct file size extends tip life and maintains cutting and welding performance. This long-style set is practical for reaching recessed tip seats and for technicians who prefer added clearance while filing.

Designed for general use with standard oxy-acetylene welding and cutting torch tips across common torch systems.

Installation Notes

Always shut off both oxygen and fuel gas valves and bleed the lines before performing any torch tip maintenance. Select the cleaner file that fits snugly in the orifice without forcing — using an oversized file will enlarge the orifice and permanently damage the tip. Draw the file straight through the orifice; avoid a circular or reaming motion. Tip cleaning is a routine maintenance task performed by welders, pipefitters, and plumbers following applicable shop safety procedures.
