PTK-18 - Flame Tech PTK-18 Portable Oxy-Acetylene Torch Kit (Victor Compatible) - No Tanks

Compact and Versatile Oxy-Acetylene Solution

The Flame Tech PTK-18 Portable Torch Kit is an expertly curated oxy-acetylene outfit designed for professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and general maintenance. Engineered for portability and ease of use, this kit provides all the essential hardware required for cutting, welding, and brazing operations in the field. The system is built around Victor-compatible components, ensuring that consumables like cutting tips and welding nozzles are readily available at supply stores nationwide, making long-term maintenance hassle-free.

Performance and Capacity

Despite its portable nature, the PTK-18 delivers impressive performance capabilities. The kit features a medium-duty torch handle and cutting attachment, providing a sturdy grip and durable construction suitable for job site environments. Out of the box, the included welding nozzle handles material up to 5/64-inch thick. However, the equipment is rated for much heavier tasks; with the purchase of optional larger tips, this outfit can cut steel up to 4 inches thick and weld material up to 1.25 inches thick. This scalability makes it a versatile addition to any service truck.

Precision Control and Safety

Gas flow is managed by Flame Tech's reliable light-duty regulators (VLAR-18 for Acetylene and VLOR-18 for Oxygen). These regulators are designed to offer precise pressure control while maintaining a compact profile that fits easily into portable totes. The kit also prioritizes safety and convenience, coming standard with check valves to prevent reverse flow, a 12.5-foot twin hose for ample reach, safety goggles, and a flint striker. Please note that this specific SKU (PTK-18) does not include gas cylinders or a carrying tote, allowing you to utilize your existing tanks and carrier setup.
