Victor SST1000FC Heavy-Duty Straight Cutting Torch – 17" Length, 90° Head

Heavy-duty straight cutting torch with a 17" body, 90° head, built-in flashback arrestors, and reverse-flow check valves.
The Victor SST1000FC Straight Cutting Torch is designed for heavy- and medium-duty oxy-fuel cutting applications. This configuration features a 17" (43cm) overall length, 90° cutting head, bottom-rear cutting oxygen lever, and Series 1 cutting tip compatibility.

Built-in patented flashback arrestors and reverse-flow check valves provide integrated safety features directly in the torch. The SST1000FC is designed for use with compatible fuel gases operating at 5 PSIG and above.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Cutting Torch: Designed for heavy- and medium-duty oxy-fuel cutting applications.
• 17" Straight Torch: Compact 17" (43cm) overall length for controlled cutting and general fabrication work.
• 90° Cutting Head: Standard 90-degree head configuration for oxy-fuel cutting.
• Bottom-Rear Lever: Cutting oxygen lever is positioned at the bottom rear of the torch.
• Built-In Flashback Arrestors: Patented flashback arrestors are integrated directly 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.
• 1/8" to 5" Cutting Capacity: Wide cutting range when equipped with the appropriate tip and operating setup.
• Multiple Fuel Gas Capability: Designed for compatible fuel gases operating at 5 PSIG and above.

17" Straight-Torch Design

The 17" (43cm) overall length provides a compact straight-torch configuration for general cutting, fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications.

Combined with the 90° cutting head, the shorter overall length provides a manageable setup for applications where the additional reach of a longer cutting torch is not required.

Bottom-Rear Cutting Oxygen Lever

The SST1000FC features a bottom-rear cutting oxygen lever. This is an important distinction from ST900FC configurations that use a top-rear lever.

The bottom-rear location provides the SST1000FC with its own operating configuration while maintaining a straight torch body and 90° cutting head.

1/8" to 5" Cutting Capacity

The SST1000FC provides a cutting capacity from 1/8" (3.25mm) through 5" (127mm) 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 SST1000FC 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.
