0381-1432 - Victor HC1250LC Heavy Duty 48-Inch Straight Cutting Torch with Locking Lever

Heavy-Duty Scrapping and Demolition Torch

The Victor HC1250LC (0381-1432) is a powerhouse straight cutting torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the renowned HC 1200C Series, this tool is engineered to handle heavy-duty applications such as scrapping, demolition, and foundry work where standard torches fall short. With an impressive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches, the HC1250LC allows operators to slice through massive steel sections with confidence and precision.

Safety and Reach

One of the defining features of this model is its 48-inch length. In high-heat environments or when cutting overhead structures, distance is a key safety factor. The extended barrel keeps the operator safely away from the molten splash zone and intense radiant heat, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury. The 90-degree head angle provides the standard orientation required for most perpendicular cutting tasks, making it intuitive for experienced oxy-fuel operators.

Versatility and Performance

The torch is equipped with a universal mixer, making it highly versatile regarding fuel gas selection. It is designed to operate efficiently with any fuel gas supplied at 2 PSIG and above, allowing facilities to utilize their existing gas infrastructure without specialized adapters. The inclusion of reverse flow check valves adds an essential layer of safety, preventing gas backflow that could lead to dangerous situations. Furthermore, the locking lever located at the top rear of the handle is a favorite among professionals; it allows the oxygen flow to be locked on for long duration cuts, significantly reducing hand strain during all-day scrapping operations.

Reliable Victor Engineering

Victor's reputation for durability is fully realized in the HC1250LC. The torch utilizes Series 1 cutting tips, which are widely available and easy to replace, ensuring minimal downtime. Whether you are dismantling heavy machinery, processing scrap metal, or performing structural demolition, this torch delivers the consistent high-output performance required to get the job done efficiently.
