Victor 0381-1722 Bulldoga HC1131C H1 Cutting Torch 48 in

Product Description

The VICTOR 0381-1722 Bulldoga HC1131C is a high-capacity, straight-body cutting torch built for heavy industrial and structural cutting work. At 48 inches overall length, the torch gives operators extended reach on large workpieces without sacrificing control. The low-profile head and lightweight construction reduce fatigue during long cutting runs, while the overall build is engineered to handle the demands of continuous heavy-duty use. Reverse flow check valves are installed at the inlet connection. The HC1131C does not include built-in flashback arrestors, which is standard for torches in this class where external inline arrestors are preferred. Tip seating follows the Harris style, giving shops flexibility in tip selection.

This torch is designed for industrial and general fabrication environments, including structural steel fabrication. It is suited for oxy-fuel cutting setups where a full-length straight torch is required for flat plate, beam, or structural section work. The 48-inch overall length makes it a practical choice for cutting tables, large structural assemblies, and applications where the operator needs to maintain distance from the cut zone. Skilled welders, pipefitters, and ironworkers are the primary users in plant and field settings.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified welder or gas equipment technician familiar with oxy-fuel systems.

Verify hose connections, check valves, and fittings for leaks using an approved leak-detection solution before lighting. Follow applicable shop safety codes and manufacturer guidelines for oxy-fuel equipment handling and storage.
