0381-1704 - Victor Bulldog HC1101C 21-Inch Scrap Cutting Torch for Propane

Victor HC1101C Bulldog Scrap Cutting Torch

The Victor HC1101C (0381-1704) is a heavy-duty straight cutting torch from the renowned Bulldog series, specifically engineered for superior performance in scrap cutting and demolition applications. This 21-inch torch features a 75-degree head angle, optimizing ergonomics for ground-level or awkward-angle cutting tasks often encountered in scrap yards and industrial demolition sites.

Designed exclusively for use with alternative fuels like propane and natural gas, the HC1101C utilizes an "ultra mix" low-pressure mixer. This specialized mixer ensures efficient fuel consumption and a stable flame, even under the demanding conditions of heavy industrial use. The torch is constructed with a low-profile head and a lightweight design, reducing operator fatigue without compromising strength. Three heavy-duty tube supports provide exceptional structural integrity, making the Bulldog series one of the most durable options in its class for rough handling.

Safety and maintenance are key components of the HC1101C design. While it does not include built-in flashback arrestors (allowing for higher flow rates necessary in heavy scrap cutting), it comes equipped with reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connection. The threaded inlet connections facilitate easy repair and maintenance. The bottom rear lever utilizes a pin/clip design for reliable operation, and the "supercharged" preheat oxygen valve minimizes blow-off during starts, ensuring consistent performance in the field.
