0381-1720 - Victor HC1172C Bulldog 72-Inch Scrap Cutting Torch

Heavy-Duty Scrap Cutting Power

The Victor HC1172C Bulldog Cutting Torch (0381-1720) is engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of the scrap cutting and demolition industries. Part of the renowned HC 1100C Series, this "Bulldog" torch is built to withstand harsh environments while delivering superior performance. With an impressive 72-inch length, it provides the necessary reach to keep operators at a safe distance from heat and falling debris, making it an essential tool for heavy-duty processing.

Designed for use with Propane and Natural Gas, the HC1172C features a specialized "supercharged" preheat oxygen valve. This innovation significantly reduces blow-off and ensures rapid starting, even on dirty or coated scrap metals. The torch utilizes an ultra-mix low-pressure mixer, optimizing fuel efficiency and flame stability for alternative fuels. Its 180-degree straight head is sleek and low-profile, eliminating protrusions that could hinder cutting in tight spaces or snag on materials.

Durability is at the core of the Bulldog design. The torch body is reinforced with three heavy-duty tube supports on this extra-length model to prevent bending and damage during operation. While it does not include built-in flashback arrestors, it comes equipped with reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connections for enhanced safety and ease of repair. The bottom rear lever with a pin/clip design offers ergonomic control for right or left-handed users.
