0381-1406 - Victor HC1231C Heavy Duty 36-Inch Straight Cutting Torch 75 Degree

Victor HC1231C Heavy Duty Straight Cutting Torch

The Victor HC1231C (0381-1406) is a premier solution within the HC 1200C Series, engineered specifically for high-capacity, heavy-duty industrial applications. With a substantial cutting capacity of up to 18 inches, this torch is a staple in scrapping, demolition, and foundry environments where deep, reliable cuts are required. The unit features a 36-inch overall length, providing the necessary reach for operator safety and accessibility in hazardous or cluttered workspaces. The 75-degree head angle offers a specific ergonomic advantage for certain cutting positions, differentiating it from standard 90-degree models.

Technically, the HC1231C utilizes a universal mixer design. This allows the torch to operate efficiently with any standard fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas—provided the pressure is maintained at 2 PSIG or above. This versatility reduces the need for multiple torch inventories in facilities utilizing different fuel sources. The torch comes equipped with reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connection ("B" 9/16" - 18) to mitigate gas backflow issues, although it is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors; external arrestors may be added based on safety protocols. It utilizes standard Series 1 cutting tips, ensuring consumables are readily available.
