Value Collection 173C-4 Cutting Torch Tip Acetylene

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 173C-4 is an acetylene cutting torch tip designed for use with Victor-style cutting torches. Rated as Tip Number 4, it is suited for cutting steel plate and structural material in the 2.5-inch to 3-inch thickness range. The tip delivers a focused, high-temperature oxyfuel cutting stream that severs ferrous metals cleanly when paired with the appropriate oxygen and acetylene pressures. It is a direct-fit consumable replacement installed by welders, pipefitters, and metal fabricators working in shop, field, or structural settings.

This cutting tip is intended for oxyfuel cutting applications where acetylene is the fuel gas. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, steel service centers, pipe yards, and field cutting operations. The tip is sized for heavier plate work in the 2.5-inch to 3-inch range, making it appropriate for structural steel demolition, plate processing, and heavy pipe cutting. Installation requires a compatible Victor-style torch body and cutting attachment.

Installation Notes

Cutting torch tips are installed and serviced by qualified welders or pipefitters familiar with oxyfuel equipment. Always close all torch valves and verify oxygen and acetylene cylinders are shut off before changing a tip. Thread the tip into the cutting attachment by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate tip wrench — do not overtighten. Inspect the tip seat and orifice for damage or debris before lighting, and always follow applicable OSHA and CGA safety guidelines for oxyfuel cutting equipment.
