Victor CS1648 Airco Style Cutting Tip Size 8

Product Description

The VICTOR CS1648 is a Size 8 Airco-style cutting tip designed for oxy-fuel cutting torches. It delivers a focused, high-temperature cutting flame suited for heavy-duty metal cutting applications. Built to Airco torch head specifications, this tip threads directly into compatible Airco-pattern torch bodies and provides consistent performance across a range of material thicknesses. Licensed gas welders and metal fabricators are the primary installers. The compact profile measures approximately 3.7 inches in length and 0.9 inches in diameter, and the unit weighs 0.25 pounds, making it easy to handle and swap in the field.

The CS1648 Size 8 cutting tip is suited for industrial and commercial cutting operations where larger material cross-sections require a higher-capacity tip. It is commonly used in structural steel fabrication, heavy plate cutting, and maintenance welding shops. The Airco-pattern design makes it a direct fit for torch bodies that accept the 164-series tip seat geometry. Professionals working with oxy-acetylene or compatible fuel gases will find this tip appropriate for demanding, high-throughput cutting tasks.

Installation Notes

Cutting tips of this type are installed and serviced by qualified welders or gas apparatus technicians. Always close all cylinder valves and bleed torch hoses completely before removing or installing a tip. Use the correct tip wrench to seat the tip firmly without overtightening, which can damage the seat and cause gas leaks. Verify all connections are leak-free with an approved leak-detection solution before lighting the torch.
