0380-0215 - Victor MT 204A Acetylene Machine Torch, 2-Hose, 7-Inch Capacity

Precision Engineering for Automated Cutting

The Victor MT 204A Machine Cutting Torch (SKU: 0380-0215) is engineered for industrial environments requiring reliable, high-capacity mechanized cutting. Designed as part of the MT 200 series, this torch features a robust two-hose configuration specifically calibrated for Acetylene gas. Its primary engineering advantage lies in its straight-through design, which minimizes gas turbulence as the fuel and oxygen travel through the torch body. This laminar flow reduction is critical for maintaining a stable, concentrated preheat flame and a high-velocity cutting stream, ensuring superior edge quality on cuts up to 7 inches (177.8 mm) thick.

Integration into existing machine carriages is streamlined by the torch's standard dimensions. It features a 1.38-inch (35.1 mm) diameter barrel that is pre-drilled to allow for three-position mounting flexibility, accommodating various rack-and-pinion or clamp-style holders. The barrel length of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) provides ample surface area for secure clamping without interfering with the workpiece. The total length of the torch is a compact 8.5 inches (215.9 mm), making it suitable for setups where vertical clearance may be limited.

Safety and durability are paramount in the MT 204A's construction. The unit is built from solid brass, offering excellent resistance to heat and mechanical impact. It utilizes a high-performance mixer design to ensure optimal fuel-to-oxygen ratios for Acetylene. Furthermore, the torch comes equipped with reverse flow check valves, a critical safety feature that prevents the dangerous backflow of gases into the supply lines. This model does not include a gear rack, allowing for custom mounting solutions or direct replacement in smooth-bore holders.
