Victor 0381-1404 HC1202C Straight Cutting Torch 21 in

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1404 is the HC1202C heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for high-capacity industrial and commercial cutting applications. Built for demanding workloads, it features a 180-degree head angle and a 21-inch overall length that keeps the operator clear of the work surface. The universal mixer design accepts any fuel gas running at 2 psig and above, giving field technicians flexibility across acetylene, propane, natural gas, and other fuel supplies. Hose connections use a standard B-type 9/16-inch-18 fitting for quick, reliable attachment. Cutting tip compatibility is based on the Series 1 tip family.

This torch is suited for steel fabrication shops, demolition contractors, pipefitters, and heavy-equipment service operations that require consistent, high-output cutting performance. The 21-inch straight body is a common choice for flat-table cutting and overhead work where torch length improves ergonomics and reduces heat exposure to the operator. The 180-degree head keeps the cutting tip on a straight axis with the body, making it straightforward to guide along layout lines. A licensed welder or certified gas-equipment technician should install and commission this torch.
