0381-1936 - Victor VanGuard 100FC Torch Handle & CA1350 Cutting Attachment Combo Pack

Technical Overview of the Victor 0381-1936 Replacement Pack

The Victor 0381-1936 is a comprehensive replacement pack that bundles two of Victor's most reliable medium-duty components: the VanGuard 100FC Torch Handle and the CA1350 Cutting Attachment. Designed for industrial MRO applications, this set provides a robust foundation for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, heating, and brazing operations. The 100FC handle is engineered with internal safety mechanisms, including built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. These integrated features eliminate the need for heavy external safety devices, streamlining the torch profile and improving ergonomics without compromising operator protection.

The included CA1350 Cutting Attachment features a 90-degree die-forged brass head and stainless steel tubes, offering superior resistance to heat and mechanical stress. It utilizes a spiral mixer design which efficiently blends oxygen with any fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Butane, Liquid Air, and Natural Gas—to produce a stable, high-temperature flame. The attachment connects seamlessly to the 100FC handle via a double O-ring seal and a brass coupling nut, ensuring a gas-tight fit that can be secured by hand without the need for a wrench. This design facilitates quick changeovers between cutting and welding configurations.

With a cutting capacity of up to 6 inches (152 mm) when equipped with the appropriate Series 3 cutting tips, this combination is versatile enough for a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks. The handle itself measures 8-1/2 inches in length and features standard 9/16"-18 hose connections, making it compatible with most standard "B" size gas hoses. The unit is fully serviceable, utilizing traditional threaded assemblies that allow for economical repairs if required, extending the service life of the equipment in demanding industrial environments.
