0381-1402 - Victor HC1200C 21-Inch Heavy Duty Scrapping Torch

Victor HC1200C Heavy Industry Straight Cutting Torch

The Victor HC1200C (0381-1402) is a high-capacity, heavy-duty straight cutting torch engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. Designed specifically for applications requiring deep cutting capabilities, such as scrapping, demolition, and heavy structural fabrication, this torch boasts an impressive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches (457 mm). The unit is constructed with durability in mind, featuring a robust design that withstands the rigors of harsh worksites while maintaining precision and reliability.

One of the defining technical features of the HC1200C is its universal mixer. This allows the torch to operate efficiently with any fuel gas—including acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas—provided the pressure is 2 psig or above. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple torches for different fuel types, streamlining equipment management. The torch utilizes standard Series 1 cutting tips, ensuring that consumables are readily available and easy to source. The inlet connections are industry-standard "B" 9/16"-18, making it compatible with most heavy-duty hose sets.

Safety and ergonomics are central to the HC1200C's design. While it does not include built-in flashback arrestors, it comes pre-installed with reverse flow check valves at the inlet connection to prevent gas backflow. The 21-inch length and 90-degree head angle provide an optimal balance between reach and control, keeping the operator at a safe distance from the heat zone while allowing for precise perpendicular cuts. The top-rear lever position is ergonomically placed to reduce hand fatigue during long cutting operations, a critical factor in high-volume scrapping scenarios.

Manufactured in Mexico to Victor's stringent quality standards, the HC1200C represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting technology. Whether you are dismantling large steel structures or processing scrap metal, this torch delivers the power and reliability required to get the job done efficiently.
