Victor 0381-1719 Bulldoga HC1171C Cutting Torch 72 Inch

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1719 Bulldoga HC1171C is a high-capacity straight cutting torch engineered for heavy-duty oxyfuel cutting applications. Built on the Bulldoga platform, this torch features a low-profile head and a lightweight construction that balances ease of handling with structural durability. It measures 72 inches in overall length, making it well suited for large-scale cutting tasks that require extended reach. Reverse flow check valves are installed at the inlet connection. Note that this torch is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors, so separate flashback protection must be used per safety requirements. Licensed welding and cutting professionals are the primary users of this equipment.

This cutting torch is intended for industrial and general fabrication environments, including structural steel fabrication. The extended 72-inch overall length reduces operator fatigue during prolonged cutting runs on large workpieces or structural members. It is rated for high-capacity straight torch applications and conforms to ISO standards EN ISO 5172, making it appropriate for shops and job sites that require documented equipment compliance.

Key Features

• High-capacity straight torch design built for heavy cutting applications
• Low-profile head reduces clearance issues in tight cutting positions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cutting torch for heavy-duty oxyfuel cutting setups requiring a high-capacity straight torch configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified welding and cutting professionals familiar with oxyfuel equipment. Always shut off gas supply at the cylinder valves before connecting or disconnecting torch components. Because this torch does not include built-in flashback arrestors, appropriate inline flashback arrestors must be installed on both the fuel and oxygen lines before use. Follow applicable safety codes and the manufacturer's operating instructions for regulator settings and tip selection.
