Victor 0381-1704 Bulldog HC1101C Cutting Torch 21 Inch

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1704 is a high-capacity straight cutting torch in the Bulldog HC1101C series, designed for heavy industrial cutting applications. Built for trade professionals who demand performance and durability, this torch features a low-profile head and lightweight construction without sacrificing strength. The overall assembly measures approximately 21 inches in length and weighs 3.05 pounds. Reverse flow check valves are installed at the inlet connections. Note that this model is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors, so separate flashback arrestor devices must be used per jobsite safety requirements.

The VICTOR 0381-1704 is suited for industrial and general fabrication as well as structural steel fabrication. Its high-capacity design handles the demands of heavy cutting work in both shop and field environments. The straight torch configuration is the standard choice for professional welders and cutting technicians working with oxy-fuel systems in manufacturing, fabrication, and heavy construction settings. The torch conforms to ISO standards EN ISO 5172, making it suitable for operations with international compliance requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of oxy-fuel cutting torches should be performed by qualified welding or cutting professionals familiar with compressed gas safety procedures. Always shut off and bleed both oxygen and fuel gas supplies before connecting or disconnecting torch components. Because this torch does not include built-in flashback arrestors, approved external flashback arrestors must be installed on both the oxygen and fuel gas lines before use. Follow applicable ANSI, AWS, and CGA safety codes for oxy-fuel equipment setup and operation.
