The Victor Journeyman EDGE 2.0 Plus (SKU: 0384-2101) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty oxy-acetylene equipment, engineered for rigorous industrial applications. This outfit is built around the high-capacity ESS42 Series regulators and the robust WH315FC+ torch handle, providing a comprehensive solution for cutting, welding, and heating tasks.
The kit features the ESS42-150-540 (Oxygen) and ESS42-15-510 (Acetylene) regulators. These single-stage, heavy-duty regulators are designed with the EDGE 2.0 architecture, which includes a fully enclosed, highly visible modular gauge system. The gauges feature high-contrast colored faces for rapid pressure assessment. A key structural innovation is the SLAM (Shock Limitation and Absorption Mechanism) knob, which protects the regulator internals and stem from impact damage in the event of a cylinder fall. The regulators are backed by a Lifetime Warranty, underscoring their durability in harsh environments.
The core of the manual operation is the WH315FC+ Extra Heavy Duty Torch Handle. It is equipped with built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves, eliminating the need for external safety add-ons and reducing the total weight and length of the assembly. The handle pairs with the CA2460+ Cutting Attachment, which utilizes a 90-degree head angle and is constructed to withstand substantial thermal and physical stress. Both the handle and cutting attachment carry a 10-Year Warranty.
Out of the box, the system is configured to cut steel up to 3/4" (19.1mm) using the included 1-1-101 tip and weld up to 1/2" material with the provided nozzles. However, the equipment's flow capacity supports cutting up to 8" (203.2mm) and welding up to 3" (76.2mm) with the purchase of optional larger tips. The system also excels in heating applications, capable of delivering up to 1,118,000 BTUs/hour when equipped with maximum size heating nozzles, making it suitable for heavy pre-heating and straightening operations.
This specific outfit utilizes a CGA 510 connection for the acetylene regulator, which is the standard male thread for industrial acetylene cylinders (distinct from CGA 300 or B/MC connections). The included 20-foot Grade-T twin hose (1/4" diameter) is chemically treated to be safe for all fuel gases, providing versatility should the user switch fuel sources in the future (requiring appropriate regulator and tip changes).
