0381-1640 - Victor SST1000FC 17-Inch 90-Degree Heavy Duty Straight Cutting Torch

Victor SST1000FC Heavy-Duty Straight Cutting Torch

The Victor SST1000FC (0381-1640) represents the pinnacle of safety and performance in the manual oxy-fuel cutting category. Part of the renowned VanGuard series, this 17-inch straight cutting torch is engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications where reliability is non-negotiable. The torch features a 90-degree head angle, making it the standard configuration for most downward cutting operations on plate steel and structural components.

One of the defining features of the SST1000FC is its integrated safety system. Victor has built patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves directly into the torch body. This design innovation offers two distinct advantages: first, it provides the highest level of operator protection against dangerous flashbacks and gas mixing; second, it eliminates the need for heavy, bulky accessory arrestors at the torch inlet. This results in a lighter, more balanced tool that reduces operator fatigue during extended use.

The torch boasts a versatile cutting capacity, capable of slicing through steel ranging from 1/8 inch up to 5 inches in thickness when equipped with the appropriate cutting tips. The bottom rear lever position is favored by many professionals for its ergonomic feel, allowing for precise control of the oxygen stream without compromising grip stability. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a scrap yard, or on a construction site, the SST1000FC delivers consistent, high-quality cuts.

Constructed with high-strength alloy materials, the torch is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. The gas tubes are stainless steel for added rigidity and corrosion resistance. Compatible with all fuel gases (with the correct tips), this torch is a versatile addition to any professional welder's arsenal. Trust Victor's legacy of quality to keep your operations running smoothly and safely.
