The Victor HC1170C Cutting Torch (0381-1718) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting equipment designed specifically for the rigorous demands of scrap yards, foundries, and large-scale demolition projects. With an impressive overall length of 72 inches (6 feet), this torch is engineered to provide maximum operator safety and comfort. The extended reach allows users to stand well back from the cut zone, significantly reducing exposure to radiant heat, sparks, and the potential hazards of falling debris often encountered when severing large structural members or processing scrap piles.
Part of the renowned Victor HC 1100 Series, this torch features a robust three-tube construction. This design is critical for safety and durability; it keeps the fuel gas and oxygen separate until they reach the mixer in the head, preventing flashback in the handle and adding structural rigidity to the long barrel. The torch is equipped with a 90-degree head, the industry standard for general-purpose cutting, allowing for a natural working angle on both ground-level materials and elevated workpieces.
The HC1170C is a "universal" torch in terms of fuel gas compatibility. While the internal mixer design is optimized for high flow, the specific gas utility (Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, or Natural Gas) is determined by the Series 1 cutting tip installed. This flexibility allows facilities to switch fuel sources without replacing the entire torch handle. With the appropriate tips, this tool boasts a massive cutting capacity of up to 18 inches (457 mm), making it capable of slicing through heavy risers, thick plate, and massive structural beams that standard torches cannot handle.
