Victor 0381-1720 Bulldoga HC1172C Cutting Torch 72 in

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1720 is a high-capacity straight-body cutting torch in the Bulldoga HC1172C series, engineered for demanding industrial cutting applications. It measures 72 inches in overall length and weighs 8.6 pounds, making it a full-reach tool suited for structural and fabrication work at the floor level or over large workpieces. The low-profile head reduces snag points in tight positions, while the lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during extended cuts. Reverse flow check valves are installed at the inlet connections. This torch is manufactured without built-in flashback arrestors, so compatible external arrestors must be used per site safety requirements. Licensed welding and cutting professionals perform installation and setup.

This torch is built for industrial and general fabrication environments, including structural steel fabrication operations where long-reach cutting access is required. The 72-inch overall length keeps the operator at a safe working distance from the workpiece and heat zone. Its high-capacity design handles heavy cutting loads typical of plate steel, structural shapes, and similar ferrous materials. The torch conforms to ISO standards EN ISO 5172, making it suitable for shops operating under international quality or export requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified welding professional familiar with oxy-fuel cutting equipment. Shut off all gas supplies at the cylinder valves before connecting or disconnecting the torch. Because this torch does not include built-in flashback arrestors, appropriate external flashback arrestors must be installed at the regulator outlets before use. Follow all applicable compressed gas and fire safety codes for your jurisdiction when placing this equipment into service.
