0382-0015 - Victor HD 310C Heavy Duty Torch Handle 300 Series

Victor HD 310C Heavy Duty Torch Handle (0382-0015)

The Victor HD 310C Torch Handle (SKU: 0382-0015) is a premier component in the heavy-duty industrial gas equipment market, engineered specifically for professionals who demand reliability and high performance. As part of the renowned Victor 300 Series, this torch handle is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, featuring a robust construction of solid brass and stainless steel. It serves as the foundational unit for a wide variety of oxy-fuel processes, including welding, cutting, and heavy heating.

One of the distinguishing technical features of the HD 310C is its flow-optimized design. Unlike standard general-purpose handles, this model is designed without built-in flashback arrestors. This engineering choice is intentional, allowing for significantly higher gas flow rates which are critical when utilizing large multi-flame heating nozzles. While it omits the arrestors to prevent flow restriction, safety is not compromised; the handle comes equipped with built-in reverse flow check valves. These valves effectively prevent the dangerous backflow of gases into the hose, a primary cause of mixing accidents.

Versatility is a key attribute of the 0382-0015. It is compatible with all fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas, provided the correct pressure settings and tips are utilized. The handle features a large fuel gas valve that provides precise control over the flame profile, ensuring stability whether you are performing delicate welding or aggressive heating. With a length of 11 inches and a weight of approximately 21 ounces, it offers a balanced feel that reduces operator fatigue during extended use.

The HD 310C is designed to accept a wide range of attachments, most notably the CA 2460+ cutting attachment, as well as W Series welding nozzles and high-capacity heating nozzles. The inlet connections are standard "B" size (9/16"-18), making it compatible with the vast majority of industrial grade hose sets. For fabrication shops, shipyards, and construction sites requiring a handle that prioritizes flow and durability, the Victor HD 310C is the industry standard.
