0381-1504 - Victor ST2652FC 48-Inch 180-Degree Heavy Duty Straight Cutting Torch

Heavy-Duty Industrial Cutting Performance

The Victor ST2652FC (0381-1504) is a premium heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the renowned ST2600FC series, this torch is engineered to handle rigorous cutting tasks in scrap yards, foundries, and structural steel demolition sites. With an impressive length of 48 inches, it provides operators with essential reach, keeping them safely distanced from intense heat zones and falling debris often encountered during heavy severance work.

This model features a 180-degree head angle, also known as a straight head, which is particularly effective for tasks such as washing pads, gouging, or cutting inside recessed areas where angled heads might struggle. The torch is versatile enough to operate with any fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene—simply by selecting the appropriate Series 1 cutting tip (Type 101, GPM, etc.). This flexibility allows facilities to standardize on one torch model regardless of their fuel gas supply.

Safety is paramount in the design of the ST2652FC. It comes equipped with built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. These integrated safety features prevent dangerous gas backflow and flashbacks without adding the bulk or weight of external add-ons. The top rear lever position offers ergonomic control, allowing for precise oxygen actuation while maintaining a firm grip on the handle. With a cutting capacity of up to 8 inches, this torch is a powerhouse tool for professionals who require reliability and performance.
