Operator Focused Oxy-Fuel Torch



Victor, a Victor Technologies brand, offers its 400 Series of oxy-fuel torches and G Series regulators.

The 400 series is a two-piece torch that incorporates handle and cutting attachment designs that offer better ergonomics, a clearer view of the cutting path, visual cues for easier use and enhanced safety. The 400 Series is compatible with current 300 series consumables and accessories.

The 400 Series features a contoured, high-strength alloy torch handle. While lighter than a brass handle, the company reported that the latest handle better resists abuse and it balances well when hoses and attachments are connected.

Victor color-coded and labeled the oxygen and fuel valves for instant identification and easier operation by indicating directions for open and closed valve positions.

To simplify use and increase precision, the 400 Series cutting attachment provides enhanced line-of-sight visibility. Victor accomplished this by departing from its traditional tube-in-tube design to a sleeker three-tube design (oxy-fuel cutting requires three tubes, one each for fuel gas, pre-heat oxygen and cutting oxygen). It enables operators to use one torch for all fuels (acetylene, propylene, propane, etc.) by selecting the correct tips or attachments. The tube design supports gas flow rate requirements for tip sizes 000 through 6.

When sold as part of the Medalist 250 and 350 outfits, Victor's G Series regulator accompanies the 400 Series torch. G Series regulators use a combination of colors on the gauge face to provide clarity for reading needle position, while a scale and red tick mark indicate actual service pressure of the regulator. The G Series color-coded knobs to indicate gas type.
