Hello Everyone,

Could anyone help identify what brand of cutting tip this would be? I need to find a replacement but there's no indication of the make. I am hoping that one or more of you with experience with torches could help me.

Thanks,
Pauline

hello pauliner
I cant tell what brand it is but one thing that might help you is what you have there is a braizing tip not a cuting tip
good luck

The design of the knobs suggest this is a Victor torch, probably an older hobby/light duty unit.

John's right, that's a small welding/brazing head and tip. You need a cutting head on the torch body before you discuss cutting tips. Also, I'm not sure that model has built-in flashback arrestors, so you might consider adding them.

Your local welding supply should be able to positively ID it for you, and hook you up with the parts you need.

Thank you very much for your responses John and Steve.

I am in the Bahamas, I do not believe the welders here have a shop to purchase parts, so I need to look on line to purchase this part but I have no idea what brand I am looking for.

So, my next question is...after I have identified this part, can anyone recommend a reliable online source which I may make a purchase from?

Pauline.

I was going to suggest "Harris" as the brand from the looks of the barrel. I don't even see check valves on the torch. There could be flashback arresters at the regulators though. There should be some markings on the torch barrel thought that would identify it as either Harris or Victor. The tip size would be stamped into the actual copper tip as a number. Probably 2 through 5?

The other possibility is that this torch is from Harbor Freight Tools and is a Victor knock off?
