The Victor 0301-0011 100FC Torch Handle is a cornerstone of the VanGuard series, engineered for medium-duty industrial applications. This torch handle is designed to provide a robust foundation for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, heating, and brazing operations. Constructed from high-strength brass, the 100FC features a threaded assembly design, which significantly simplifies maintenance and repair compared to soldered or pressed designs. This structural integrity ensures longevity even in harsh workshop environments.
A primary technical advantage of the 100FC model is its integrated safety systems. The handle comes equipped with built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. These components are critical for preventing dangerous gas backflow and flashbacks, eliminating the need for external accessory arrestors that can add weight and bulk to the torch assembly. The internal gas tubes are made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and structural rigidity.
The 0301-0011 utilizes standard "B" size 9/16"-18 inlet connections, making it compatible with standard industrial twin hoses. It is designed to accept the Victor CA1350 cutting attachment, allowing for cutting capacities up to 6 inches (152 mm). For welding and brazing, it pairs with W-1 series nozzles, supporting material thicknesses up to 1/4 inch (6.4 mm). The handle is rated for use with all standard fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas, provided the correct tips and regulators are employed. The valve assembly features stainless steel ball valves for precise flame adjustment and positive shut-off.
