Victor ST2671FC Heavy Duty Straight Cutting Torch (0381-1508)

The Victor ST2671FC is a premium heavy-duty straight cutting torch specifically engineered for industrial applications that demand extended reach and robust thermal endurance. As a prominent member of the ST2600FC series, this torch is designed to withstand the punishing conditions found in scrap yards, foundries, and heavy demolition sites. The torch features an impressive overall length of 72 inches (6 feet), which serves a critical safety function: it allows the operator to maintain a significant distance from the intense radiant heat, molten slag, and falling debris generated during the cutting of large or thick materials.

A distinguishing characteristic of the ST2671FC is its 75-degree head angle. While 90-degree heads are standard for general perpendicular cutting, the 75-degree configuration is often preferred for scraping, washing pads, or cutting at ground level, as it allows for a more natural and ergonomic wrist position during these specific operations. The torch utilizes a universal mixer design (tip-mix), rendering it compatible with any standard fuel gas—including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas. The fuel gas selection is determined solely by the installation of the appropriate cutting tip series (e.g., Series 1 for Acetylene, Series GPN for Propane), providing immense versatility for facilities utilizing multiple gas types.

Safety is a cornerstone of the Victor VanGuard design philosophy incorporated into this model. The ST2671FC comes factory-equipped with built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. By integrating these safety devices directly into the torch body, Victor eliminates the need for heavy, bulky external add-ons that can alter the torch's balance and restrict gas flow. This integration ensures that the torch maintains its high-flow characteristics, capable of cutting steel ranging from 1/8 inch up to 8 inches in thickness without compromising operator protection.

The construction of the ST2671FC utilizes high-strength alloy materials for the head and body, with stainless steel tubes providing structural rigidity and corrosion resistance. The top rear lever position offers precise control over the cutting oxygen stream, featuring a smooth actuation mechanism that reduces hand fatigue during long cuts. The inlet connections are standard 9/16"-18 "B" fittings, ensuring seamless integration with standard industrial oxy-fuel hose sets. Designed for ease of service, the threaded assembly allows for straightforward maintenance and repair, extending the operational life of the equipment.
