Value Collection 173C-2 Cutting Torch Tip Acetylene

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 173C-2 is an acetylene cutting torch tip designed for use with Victor-style torches. Identified as Tip Number 2, it is suited for cutting mild steel in the 3/4-inch to 1-1/2-inch thickness range. The tip channels a precise oxygen-acetylene mixture to produce the focused, high-temperature flame required for clean, controlled cuts. Welders, pipefitters, and general metalworking professionals who work with Victor-compatible torch bodies will find this a direct-fit replacement tip for everyday cutting tasks.

This cutting tip is intended for oxy-acetylene cutting applications in fabrication shops, field pipework, and maintenance environments. It is compatible with Victor-style torch handles and is appropriate for cutting mild steel plate and structural steel within its rated thickness range. At 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable that is straightforward to swap during a job without extended downtime.

Installation Notes

Cutting torch tips are installed and serviced by welders, pipefitters, and metalworking professionals. Always shut off both oxygen and acetylene supply valves and bleed the torch lines before removing or installing a tip. Thread the tip onto the torch head by hand first, then snug with the appropriate tip wrench — do not overtighten. Inspect the tip orifice for obstructions or damage before lighting, and follow all applicable OSHA and NFPA 51 guidelines for oxy-fuel equipment handling.
