Victor 0381-1504 Vanguarda St 2652FC Straight Cutting Torch

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1504 VanGuarda ST 2652FC is a heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for high-output oxy-fuel cutting applications in demanding industrial environments. At 48 inches in length, it provides extended reach for operators working on thick or large-profile stock. The torch features a 180-degree head angle and accepts Series 1 cutting tips. A top rear lever position gives the operator a natural, controlled grip during cuts. Built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves are integrated directly into the torch body, providing a critical layer of safety without relying on external fittings. Certified trade professionals in welding, fabrication, and industrial maintenance install and operate this torch.

The 0381-1504 is engineered for applications that demand consistent, clean cuts across a wide material thickness range of 1/8 inch to 8 inches. It is compatible with all fuel gases, making it flexible across job sites that use acetylene, propane, natural gas, or other fuel gas supplies. Primary use cases include scrap cutting operations and foundry work, where heavy, continuous cutting cycles place high demands on torch durability and safety features. The torch ships as a single unit and is suited for both fixed-station and portable oxy-fuel cutting setups.
