Value Collection 173C-000 Cutting Torch Tip Acetylene

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 173C-000 is an acetylene cutting torch tip designed for oxy-acetylene cutting applications. Identified as tip number 000, it is rated for cutting mild steel from 0 to 1/8 inch thick. The tip threads onto compatible torch bodies and delivers a focused cutting oxygen stream surrounded by preheat flames to sever base metal cleanly. At 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable that welding and fabrication professionals replace routinely as part of standard torch maintenance. Installation requires no special tools beyond a proper tip wrench.

This cutting tip is suited for light-duty oxy-acetylene cutting work on thin mild steel plate and sheet metal. The 000 tip size is commonly used in applications where precise, narrow kerfs on thinner stock are required, such as sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork cutting, and general repair work. It is intended for use with acetylene fuel gas only and is not rated for alternative fuel gases.

Installation Notes

Cutting torch tips should be installed and serviced by qualified welding professionals familiar with oxy-acetylene equipment. Always shut off both oxygen and acetylene cylinder valves and bleed the hoses before removing or installing a tip. Use a proper tip wrench to seat the tip snugly — do not overtighten or use pipe wrenches. Follow all applicable fire safety codes and manufacturer guidelines for the torch body in use.
