The torch measures 21 inches in overall length and features a 75-degree head angle, delivering a cutting capacity of 1/8 inch to 5 inches. Compatible with all fuel gases, it suits a variety of field and shop environments. Built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves are integrated into the body, providing an added layer of safety during operation. Licensed welding and cutting professionals in industrial, fabrication, and construction trades rely on this torch for demanding daily use.

The 9/16 inch-18 hose connection is standard for most compatible fuel gas and oxygen hose assemblies used in professional cutting rigs.
