Victor VCT0331-0009 Cutting Tip 101 00 Copper Acetylene 1/4 Inch

The Victor VCT0331-0009 is a 101 cutting tip, size 00, acetylene, copper, 1/4 inch cutting capacity.

The 0331 series in this catalogue is the copper one and the 0330 series is brass, with the same 101 designation and the same sizes across both. That is worth making explicit on the storefront, because a customer looking at two 101 size 00 acetylene tips at different prices has no way to know what differs.

The difference is real. Copper conducts heat considerably better than brass, and a cutting tip's problem is heat — it sits inside its own preheat flames and has to shed that energy into the torch head rather than accumulating it. A tip that overheats distorts, and a distorted orifice cuts a bevel that no adjustment corrects. Copper handles that better.

Brass is tougher. It survives being dropped, knocked, and handled in a fabrication shop, where a copper tip dings more easily.

So the choice is duty cycle and handling against heat, and both are legitimate.

At size 00 with a 1/4 inch capacity, this is small work. The tip cleaning point matters most on small tips: the orifices are tiny, and a drill bit ruins one permanently. Proper tip cleaners are sized files.

Acetylene: never above 15 psi.
