Victor ST2602FC Heavy-Duty Straight Cutting Torch – 21" Length, 180° Head

Heavy-duty straight cutting torch with a 21" body, 180° head, built-in flashback arrestors, and cutting capacity up to 8".
The Victor ST2602FC Straight Cutting Torch is designed for heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting applications. This configuration features a 21" (53cm) overall length, 180° cutting head, bottom-rear cutting oxygen lever, and Series 1 cutting tip compatibility.

With a cutting capacity from 1/8" (3.25mm) through 8" (203mm), the ST2602FC is designed for demanding cutting applications involving heavy plate and substantial workpieces. Built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse-flow check valves provide integrated safety features directly in the torch.

The ST2602FC is designed for use with compatible fuel gases when equipped with the appropriate Series 1 cutting tip and operating setup.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Design: Built for demanding oxy-fuel cutting applications.
• 21" Straight Torch: 21" (53cm) overall length provides additional reach for heavy-duty cutting work.
• 180° Cutting Head: Straight-head configuration aligns the cutting tip with the torch body for specialized cutting applications.
• 1/8" to 8" Cutting Capacity: Designed for a wide range of material thicknesses when properly equipped.
• Built-In Flashback Arrestors: Patented flashback arrestors are integrated into the torch.
• Reverse-Flow Check Valves: Built-in check valves help prevent reverse gas flow.
• Series 1 Cutting Tips: Compatible with a wide range of Victor Series 1 cutting tips.
• Multiple Fuel Gas Capability: Designed for use with compatible fuel gases when using the appropriate cutting tip.
• Bottom-Rear Lever: Cutting oxygen lever is positioned at the bottom rear of the torch.

180° Straight-Head Configuration

The ST2602FC features a 180° cutting head, positioning the cutting tip in line with the torch body. This differs from angled 75° and 90° cutting torch configurations and provides a straight approach to the workpiece for specialized cutting applications.

Combined with the 21" (53cm) overall length, the straight-head design provides additional reach while maintaining an inline torch and cutting-tip configuration.

Heavy-Duty 8" Cutting Capacity

The ST2602FC provides a listed cutting capacity from 1/8" (3.25mm) through 8" (203mm) when equipped with the appropriate Series 1 cutting tip and operated with the proper gas pressures and flow rates.

Always select the cutting tip and operating parameters appropriate for the material thickness, fuel gas, and cutting application.

Built-In Safety Features

The ST2602FC incorporates patented flashback arrestors and reverse-flow check valves directly into the torch.

The flashback arrestors are designed to help prevent a flame from traveling upstream through the torch, while the reverse-flow check valves help prevent gases from flowing backward into the opposite gas line.
