0381-1648 - Victor ST1051FC 48-Inch 75-Degree Heavy Duty Straight Torch

Heavy-Duty Victor ST1051FC Straight Cutting Torch

The Victor ST1051FC (0381-1648) is a premium heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for industrial professionals who demand reliability, safety, and reach. Part of the renowned ST 1000FC VanGuard series, this torch is engineered to withstand the toughest working conditions found in scrap yards, demolition sites, and heavy fabrication shops. With a substantial length of 48 inches, it provides operators with a critical safety buffer, keeping them further away from intense heat, sparks, and falling debris during cutting operations.

One of the standout features of the ST1051FC is its integrated safety system. The torch comes equipped with built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. This design eliminates the need for heavy, external accessory arrestors that can unbalance the torch and cause operator fatigue. By integrating these safety mechanisms directly into the torch body, Victor ensures maximum protection against dangerous flashbacks and gas mixing without compromising the tool's ergonomics or flow capacity.

The torch features a 75-degree head angle, which is often preferred for scraping along the ground or reaching over obstacles where a standard 90-degree head might be awkward. The cutting oxygen lever is positioned at the bottom rear, a configuration favored by many for its natural grip and ease of actuation during long cuts. Capable of cutting steel ranging from 1/8 inch up to 5 inches thick (with the correct tips), this torch is a versatile powerhouse for any oxy-fuel cutting application.
