0381-0418 - Victor CA1350 Series 3 Cutting Attachment 90 Degree Head

Victor CA1350 Medium Duty Cutting Attachment (0381-0418)

The Victor CA1350 Cutting Attachment is a premier component in the medium-duty oxy-fuel cutting category, engineered to provide reliable performance across a variety of industrial applications. Identified by the SKU 0381-0418, this attachment is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Victor 100FC series torch handles, as well as other compatible 100 series handles. It features a 90-degree head angle, which is the standard configuration for most manual cutting operations, offering excellent visibility and ergonomic handling for the operator.

At the core of the CA1350's performance is Victor's proprietary spiral mixer. This internal component is critical for safely and efficiently blending oxygen with fuel gases. The design creates a turbulent flow that ensures a homogeneous mixture, resulting in a stable, high-temperature preheat flame. This mixer design allows the attachment to be incredibly versatile; it is rated for use with all major fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Butane, Liquid Air, MAPP, Natural Gas, Propylene, and Hydrogen. Operators simply need to select the appropriate Series 3 cutting tip to match their chosen fuel gas and application requirements.

Durability is a hallmark of the Victor brand, and the CA1350 is no exception. The head is constructed from die-forged brass, a manufacturing process that aligns the grain structure of the metal to maximize strength and heat resistance. This ensures the head remains dimensionally stable even after prolonged exposure to the intense heat of cutting. Connecting the head to the coupling nut are stainless steel tubes, chosen for their rigidity and resistance to flashback-induced damage. The coupling mechanism itself features a brass nut with a double O-ring tapered seal. This innovative design allows for a gas-tight seal to be achieved by hand-tightening alone, eliminating the need for a wrench during assembly and reducing wear on the threads.

The cutting valve utilizes a smooth, pull-type lever action. This ergonomic design allows for precise feathering of the cutting oxygen, essential for starting cuts on uneven surfaces or piercing plates. With a total length of 8 inches (203.2 mm) and a weight of just 13 ounces (0.37 kg), the CA1350 minimizes operator fatigue during extended use while maintaining a robust cutting capacity of up to 6 inches (152 mm).
