0381-1709 - Victor Bulldog HC1130C 36-Inch 90-Degree Propane Cutting Torch

Heavy-Duty Victor Bulldog HC1130C Cutting Torch

The Victor Bulldog HC1130C (0381-1709) is a premier choice for industrial professionals requiring a high-capacity straight cutting torch. Designed specifically for use with Propane and Natural Gas, this torch is engineered to handle the most demanding cutting tasks, boasting a massive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches. With a total length of 36 inches and a 90-degree head angle, it provides the reach and orientation necessary for heavy scrap cutting, structural steel fabrication, and general demolition work.

Safety and durability are at the core of the Bulldog series. The HC1130C features a low-profile head that eliminates protrusions, making it easier to maneuver in confined spaces or around complex structures. The torch body is reinforced with three heavy-duty tube supports, ensuring it can withstand the physical abuse typical of scrap yards and construction sites. Despite its rugged build, the torch remains lightweight, reducing operator fatigue during extended periods of use.

Performance-wise, the HC1130C excels with its "supercharged" preheat oxygen valve, which significantly reduces the risk of flame blow-off—a common issue in outdoor or drafty environments. The ultra-mix low-pressure mixer is optimized for LP gas, ensuring a consistent and hot flame. While this model does not include built-in flashback arrestors, it comes equipped with reverse flow check valves at the inlet connection for added safety. The bottom rear lever with a pin/clip design offers ergonomic control, making this torch a reliable tool for any heavy-duty fabrication arsenal.
