0381-1713 - Victor HC1151C Bulldog 48-Inch 75-Degree Propane Scrap Torch

Heavy-Duty Victor HC1151C Bulldog Cutting Torch

The Victor HC1151C (0381-1713) is a premier straight cutting torch from the renowned Bulldog series, specifically designed for heavy-duty scrap cutting and demolition applications. Engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, this torch features a robust 48-inch length that keeps the operator at a safe distance from heat and falling debris while providing extended reach for cutting large structures.

This model is optimized for use with alternative fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas. It utilizes an ultra-mix low-pressure mixer that ensures maximum efficiency and heat output from LP gases. The torch head is angled at 75 degrees, a preferred configuration for many scrapping operations, allowing for ergonomic positioning during ground-level or overhead work. The head itself boasts a low-profile design with no protrusions, preventing the torch from getting snagged on materials during cuts.

Durability is a cornerstone of the HC1151C. It is constructed with three heavy-duty tube supports that reinforce the extra-long barrel, preventing bending or damage during rough handling. Despite its rugged build, the torch remains surprisingly lightweight, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. Maintenance is simplified with threaded inlet connections that include integral reverse flow check valves, allowing for easy repair and enhanced safety without the need for built-in flashback arrestors in the head.

The bottom rear lever configuration features a pin/clip design for secure operation. Furthermore, the 'supercharged' preheat oxygen valve is a standout feature, designed to reduce flame blow-off, making this torch reliable even in adverse weather conditions often found in outdoor salvage yards.
