0380-0223 - Victor MT310AV 3-Hose Machine Torch, 14-Inch, Acetylene

Precision Engineering for Automated Cutting

The Victor 0380-0223 MT310AV Machine Torch represents the pinnacle of gas distribution technology for automated cutting applications. Part of the renowned MT 300 series, this torch is engineered with a "straight-through" design. This architectural choice is critical in high-precision environments as it minimizes gas turbulence within the torch body. Reduced turbulence ensures that the gas flow remains laminar and stable as it exits the tip, directly translating to improved cut quality, smoother kerf edges, and reduced slag accumulation.

Designed specifically for three-hose machine setups, the MT310AV allows for the independent supply of fuel gas, preheat oxygen, and cutting oxygen. This separation is vital for achieving optimal flame characteristics and rapid start times, particularly in heavy industrial applications. The torch does not include a high-pressure cutting oxygen valve on the body itself, as it is intended for integration into systems where gas flow is managed remotely by the cutting machine's manifold or solenoid valves. This configuration simplifies the torch mechanics and reduces weight on the carriage.

Physically, the torch boasts a total length of 14 inches (355.6mm) with a barrel length of 10 inches (254mm). It features a racking length of 7 inches (177.8mm), providing ample adjustability for positioning relative to the workpiece. The unit is optimized for Acetylene gas but retains the versatility to be used with other pressurized fuel gases when equipped with the appropriate consumables. With a substantial cutting range capable of handling material up to 12 inches (304.8mm) thick, the MT310AV is a robust solution for heavy fabrication and manufacturing sectors requiring consistent, high-quality thermal cutting.
