0381-1408 - Victor HC1250C Heavy Duty Scrapping Torch 48-Inch

Victor HC1250C Heavy Duty Straight Cutting Torch (0381-1408)

The Victor HC1250C (SKU: 0381-1408) is a premium high-capacity straight cutting torch designed specifically for the rigors of heavy industrial applications. Part of the HC1200C Series, this tool is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding environments such as scrapping, demolition, and foundry work. With an impressive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches (457 mm), the HC1250C stands out as a robust solution for severing thick steel sections that standard torches cannot handle.

This model features a 48-inch overall length, providing the operator with significant reach. This extended length is crucial for safety in demolition scenarios, allowing the user to maintain a greater distance from falling debris and intense heat zones. The torch head is angled at 90 degrees, the standard configuration for most manual cutting operations, offering a balance of control and visibility. The lever is positioned at the top rear of the handle, a preferred ergonomic setup for many operators engaged in prolonged cutting tasks.

Technologically, the HC1250C utilizes a universal mixer system. This versatile design allows the torch to operate effectively with any fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas—provided the fuel gas pressure is maintained at 2 PSIG or above. This flexibility simplifies inventory management for facilities that may utilize different fuel sources for various tasks. The torch connects via standard "B" size 9/16"-18 fittings and is compatible with Victor Series 1 cutting tips, ensuring easy access to consumables.

Safety is addressed through the inclusion of reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connection. While these valves prevent the reverse flow of gases, it is important to note that the HC1200C series is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors; external arrestors should be added according to safety regulations and best practices. The robust construction and high-flow capacity make the HC1250C an indispensable tool for heavy-duty material processing.
