DHC-2000-W3000-002 - DHC 2000 Oxy-Propane Welding & Cutting Torch Handle

Precision Oxy-Propane Welding with the DHC-2000 Handle

The DHC-2000 Series Oxy/Propane Torch Handle (SKU: DHC-W3000-002) represents a significant leap forward in oxy-fuel technology. Unlike conventional torches that rely on high-velocity gas streams to generate heat, the DHC-2000 utilizes a unique mixing chamber and nozzle design to produce a low-velocity, highly concentrated flame. This innovation solves one of the most common problems in gas welding: the tendency of the gas pressure to blow out the molten weld puddle. By maintaining a soft yet intense flame, this handle allows welders to manipulate the puddle with a level of control comparable to TIG welding, but with the portability and simplicity of oxy-fuel.

Designed specifically for use with Oxygen and Propane, this handle is engineered to extract maximum thermal efficiency from the fuel gas. While propane is often relegated to cutting or heating applications in traditional setups due to its lower flame temperature compared to acetylene, the DHC-2000's efficient mixing technology concentrates the heat so effectively that it can easily weld steel, stainless steel, and even aluminum. The ergonomic pistol-grip design is another standout feature, providing superior balance and reducing wrist strain during extended welding sessions. This allows for finer hand movements and better torch angle management, which is critical for producing high-quality beads.

Versatility is at the core of the DHC-2000 system. This handle serves as the foundation for a wide range of operations. With the appropriate tips and cutting attachments (sold separately), users can transition from welding thin sheet metal to cutting thick steel plate without the need for bulky equipment changes. The low-velocity flame also results in a narrower heat-affected zone (HAZ), significantly reducing warping and distortion on thin automotive body panels or delicate aviation components. Whether you are a restorer working on classic cars, a fabricator dealing with diverse metals, or a hobbyist looking for a single tool that does it all, the DHC-2000 handle delivers professional results.

Durability is ensured through high-quality construction materials, including aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel components. The handle is designed to withstand the rigors of a workshop environment while maintaining the precision required for intricate work. By operating at low pressures (typically around 4 PSI), the system is also incredibly safe and economical, consuming less gas than standard torches while delivering superior performance.
