Victor Type 118 Acetylene Gouging & Scarfing Tip, Size 2

Professional Grade Gouging and Scarfing with Victor Type 118

When your job demands more than just cutting a piece of steel in half, you need a tip designed for the nuances of surface preparation and repair. The Victor 0331-0035 Type 118 Acetylene Tip (Size 2) is the professional's choice for deseaming, scarfing, and gouging. Whether you are washing out old rivets during a restoration project, preparing a heavy plate for welding by gouging out a J-groove, or removing a cracked weld for repair, this tip provides the control and power you need. Unlike standard cutting tips that are designed to pierce and sever, the Type 118 is engineered to wash metal away smoothly, leaving a clean surface for subsequent operations.

This Size 2 tip is a workhorse for the heavy-duty welder. It fits standard Victor 300 Series torch handles, making it a versatile addition to your existing oxy-fuel kit. With a capacity of approximately 1-1/2 inches, it handles a wide range of material thicknesses commonly found in structural steel fabrication and heavy equipment repair. The tip is designed to run on Acetylene, providing the high flame temperature necessary for rapid preheating and efficient metal removal. The precise manufacturing of Victor tips means you get a consistent flame pattern every time you light up, reducing the frustration of sputtering or uneven gouges.

Durability is key in the field, and this brass tip is built to last. It withstands the intense heat reflected during gouging operations better than generic alternatives. To get the best performance, ensure your regulator settings match the recommended 40-45 PSIG for cutting oxygen and 3-7 PSIG for acetylene. Adding the Victor Type 118 to your toolbox expands your capabilities from simple demolition to precise metal shaping and preparation, ensuring you are ready for whatever the job site throws at you.
