The Victor 0381-1414 HC1272C is a premium heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the renowned HC1200C Series, this torch is engineered to handle high-capacity cutting tasks with ease. With a substantial length of 72 inches, it provides operators with significant reach, making it an ideal choice for applications where distance from the workpiece is critical for safety and accessibility. The torch features a 180-degree head angle, allowing for straight-on cutting which is often required in demolition and scrapping operations.

One of the standout features of the HC1272C is its impressive cutting capacity. Capable of slicing through steel up to 18 inches thick, this tool is a powerhouse for heavy fabrication and scrap yards. It utilizes a universal mixer, which offers the versatility to operate with any fuel gas—including acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas—provided the pressure is 2 PSIG or above. This flexibility ensures that the torch can be integrated into various existing fuel setups without the need for specialized equipment changes.

Safety and durability are paramount in the design of the HC1200C series. While this model does not include built-in flashback arrestors, it comes equipped with reverse flow check valves installed at the inlet connection to prevent gas backflow. The inlet connections are standard "B" size (9/16" - 18), ensuring compatibility with standard industrial hoses. The torch utilizes Series 1 cutting tips, which are widely available and easy to replace. The top rear lever position is ergonomically placed for comfortable operation during extended use, giving the operator precise control over the oxygen flow.

Whether you are dismantling large structures, processing scrap metal, or performing heavy maintenance in a foundry, the Victor HC1272C delivers the performance and reliability professionals expect from the Victor brand. Its robust construction withstands the rigors of daily industrial abuse, ensuring a long service life even in harsh conditions.
