VTHH-21CS - 21-Inch Heavy Duty Victor-Style Torch Handle with Check Valves

Industrial Grade Heavy-Duty Torch Handle

The Flame Tech VTHH-21CS is a premium heavy-duty torch handle designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Engineered as a direct replacement for Victor® 300 Series heavy-duty handles, this unit features a robust "tube-within-a-tube" construction. This design architecture not only enhances the structural integrity of the handle, making it resistant to impact and abuse, but also optimizes gas flow for high-capacity cutting and heating applications. The handle is manufactured from high-quality brass and stainless steel, ensuring long-term resistance to corrosion and wear in harsh shop environments.

A critical specification of the VTHH-21CS is its extended length of 21 inches. Standard torch handles typically measure around 7 to 11 inches; the additional length provided by this model allows for greater distance between the operator and the workpiece, significantly reducing heat exposure during prolonged heating or heavy cutting operations. The unit comes equipped with standard CGA "B" size (9/16"-18) hose connections, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of industrial oxy-fuel hose sets. It is rated for use with all standard fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas, contingent upon the specific cutting attachment or heating nozzle employed.

Safety is paramount in the design of the VTHH-21CS. The handle includes built-in internal check valves. These valves are essential for preventing the reverse flow of gases, a primary precursor to dangerous flashback conditions. While check valves do not replace the need for flashback arrestors, their integration into the handle provides a foundational layer of safety. The handle's ribbed brass barrel is ergonomically designed to provide a positive grip, facilitating precise control even when the operator is wearing heavy welding gloves. This product is supplied in clamshell packaging for retail display and protection during transit.
