0381-1413 - Victor HC1271C 72-Inch Heavy Duty Scrapping Torch, 75 Degree Head

Heavy Industrial Cutting Power

The Victor HC1271C (0381-1413) is a premier solution within the HC 1200C Series, engineered specifically for the most demanding heavy industrial applications. Designed to tackle tasks such as scrapping, demolition, and foundry work, this torch boasts an impressive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches (457 mm). Its robust construction ensures reliability in harsh environments where standard torches would fail. The 72-inch overall length is a critical safety feature, allowing operators to maintain a significant distance from the radiant heat and molten debris generated when severing thick steel sections.

Versatile Gas Compatibility

Flexibility is key in industrial settings, and the HC1271C delivers with its universal mixer technology. This torch is capable of operating with any fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas—provided the pressure is maintained at 2 PSIG or above. This eliminates the need for multiple torches for different fuel types, streamlining inventory and operational procedures. The torch utilizes standard Series 1 cutting tips, ensuring that consumables are readily available and easy to replace.

Safety and Ergonomics

Safety is paramount in heavy-duty cutting. While the HC1200C series is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors to maximize flow for thick cutting, it comes standard with reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connection. The 75-degree head angle combined with a top-rear lever position provides an ergonomic grip that reduces fatigue during overhead or extended reach cutting operations. The standard "B" 9/16"-18 hose connections ensure compatibility with industrial gas hoses. For specialized applications, a lock-down lever kit (VI0307-0062) is available separately to assist with continuous cutting.
