Victor ST2601FC Heavy-Duty Straight Cutting Torch – 21" Length, 75° Head

Heavy-duty straight cutting torch with a 21" body, 75° head, built-in flashback arrestors, and cutting capacity up to 8".
The Victor ST2601FC Straight Cutting Torch is designed for heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting applications. This configuration features a 21" (53cm) overall length, 75° cutting head, top-rear cutting oxygen lever, and Series 1 cutting tip compatibility.

With a cutting capacity from 1/8" (3.25mm) through 8" (203mm), the ST2601FC is designed for demanding cutting applications involving heavy plate and other substantial workpieces. Built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse-flow check valves provide integrated safety features directly in the torch.

The ST2601FC 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 while maintaining control.
• 75° Cutting Head: Provides an angled approach to the workpiece for cutting and fabrication 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.
• Top-Rear Lever: Cutting oxygen lever is positioned at the top rear of the torch.

Heavy-Duty 8" Cutting Capacity

The ST2601FC provides a listed cutting capacity from 1/8" (3.25mm) through 8" (203mm), giving it greater maximum cutting capacity than the ST900FC and SST1000FC configurations.

The actual cutting capability depends on using the appropriate Series 1 cutting tip, fuel gas, gas pressures, flow rates, and operating procedure for the material thickness being cut.

21" Length with 75° Head

The 21" (53cm) straight torch body provides additional reach for heavy-duty fabrication and cutting work. The 75° cutting head provides an angled approach between the torch body and workpiece.

This combination provides a practical configuration for heavy plate, structural fabrication, industrial maintenance, and other demanding cutting applications.

Built-In Safety Features

The ST2601FC 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.
