Value Collection 172C-1 Cutting Torch Tip Acetylene

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 172C-1 is a cutting torch tip designed for use with acetylene fuel gas. It carries a Tip Number 1 designation, placing it in the light-to-medium cutting range suited for ferrous plate and structural steel. The tip threads directly onto compatible Victor-style torch bodies and produces the focused cutting oxygen stream needed for clean, controlled cuts. Welding professionals, pipefitters, and metal fabricators who run Victor torches and need a direct replacement or spare tip will find this a straightforward fit for standard oxy-acetylene cutting work.

This tip is appropriate for residential and commercial metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, pipeline work, and general trade applications where acetylene-based oxy-fuel cutting is performed. Its Tip Number 1 rating typically covers cutting mild steel in the 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thickness range under standard operating pressures. It is a single-piece tip packaged individually.

Installation Notes

Cutting torch tips are installed and serviced by welders, pipefitters, and certified oxy-fuel cutting operators. Always close all cylinder valves and bleed both oxygen and fuel lines before removing or installing a tip. Hand-tighten the tip nut first, then snug with a proper tip wrench — do not use pliers or adjustable wrenches that can damage the nut flats. Follow ANSI Z49.1 safe practices for welding and cutting when placing this tip into service.
