0381-1517 - Victor ST2691FC 96-Inch Heavy Duty Scrapping Torch 75-Degree Head

Victor ST2691FC Heavy Duty VanGuard Straight Cutting Torch

The Victor ST2691FC (0381-1517) is a premium heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the renowned VanGuard ST 2600FC series, this torch is engineered to provide superior safety, durability, and performance. With an impressive overall length of 96 inches (8 feet), this model is specifically tailored for scrapping, demolition, and foundry applications where operator distance from the heat source is critical for safety and comfort.

Safety is paramount in the design of the ST2691FC. It comes equipped with Victor’s patented built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves. By integrating these safety features directly into the torch body, Victor eliminates the need for heavy, flow-restricting accessory arrestors at the inlet. This design ensures that the torch maintains maximum flow capacity for cutting thick steel—up to 8 inches with the appropriate tips—while protecting the operator from dangerous flashbacks. The torch utilizes a universal gas mixer, making it compatible with all standard fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene, simply by changing to the correct Series 1 cutting tip.

Structurally, the ST2691FC is built to withstand abuse. It features high-strength stainless steel tubes that resist bending and corrosion, along with a die-forged brass head that maintains seat integrity even under high thermal stress. The 75-degree head angle offers a slightly more aggressive angle than standard 90-degree heads, which is often preferred in scrapping operations for reaching into piles or cutting at ground level. The smooth cutting oxygen lever provides precise control, allowing for clean starts and consistent cuts. For industrial professionals requiring a reliable, long-reach cutting solution, the Victor ST2691FC sets the standard.
