Forney Industries 86120 Oxy-acetylene Tip Cleaner 20 Piece

Product Description

The Forney Industries 86120 is a regular oxy-acetylene tip cleaner set designed to remove carbon deposits, slag, and oxidation from cutting and welding torch tips. Tip orifice buildup reduces flame quality and cutting performance, so keeping tip passages clear is a routine part of torch maintenance. This set includes 20 individual cleaners sized for standard oxy-acetylene tip orifices. The complete set weighs 1.75 pounds and is sold as a single unit of measure. Welders, pipefitters, and metal fabricators keep a set at the torch station for quick tip service between cuts.

Oxy-acetylene torch tips foul with use. Carbon and spatter partially block the orifice, changing the flame cone shape and reducing cutting efficiency. Regular tip cleaning restores proper gas flow and flame geometry without replacing the tip. This 20-piece set covers the range of tip sizes common in standard oxy-acetylene setups used in fabrication shops, field pipework, and general metal cutting applications. The set is appropriate for light maintenance between torch sessions or during setup when tip condition is in question.

Installation Notes

Tip cleaning is performed by a welder, pipefitter, or qualified torch operator. Always shut off torch valves and confirm both oxygen and acetylene supply valves are closed before handling or cleaning tips. Insert the appropriate cleaner size straight into the orifice without forcing or enlarging the opening, as oversizing a tip orifice will require tip replacement. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA or AWS guidelines when working with oxy-fuel equipment.
