Can two piece cutting tips be for acetylene now?

andy r · Nov 6, 2013

This pertains to a Harris acteylene cutting torch. I remember when LP gas cutting was just starting to be used in cutting torches. The tips were always two pieces that slid apart for cleaning. I had always used one piece acteylene cutting tips. I bought another Harris acteylene cutting torch off of ebay and it came with a two piece tip. It is a size number 1. Immediately behind the 1 it has the letters AC. Like this - 1 AC . I am assuming there are two piece acteylene cutting tips now just like the lp gas tips are. I think lp gas tips might have been stainless steel?? Both pieces of this tip are the typical brass/copper color. Would sure make cleaning the tip easier. Thank you.

I have never seen a two piece AC tip, propylene and propane yes, not AC. I have been running AC though my LP tip for years.

Well, the tip does say " 1 AC " and Harris is listing 2 piece acetylene tips in their charts. Just wanted to be on the safe side.

My Harris set, bought new 7-8 years back, uses 2 piece tips. Very simple to clean.
