Harris 62-5F Propane Cutting Torch, 18-Inch, 90-Degree Head

Harris 62-5F: The Industry Standard for Alternate Fuels

The Harris Model 62-5F is a heavy-duty straight cutting torch specifically designed for use with alternate fuels (propane, natural gas, propylene). It is distinct from universal pressure torches due to its low-pressure 'F' injector system. This injector creates a vacuum that pulls fuel gas into the mixing chamber, allowing the torch to maintain a stable, high-temperature flame even with low supply pressure. This makes it the safest and most efficient design for operators utilizing bulk fuel systems or low-pressure natural gas lines.

Superior Construction and Ergonomics

Constructed with the professional welder in mind, the 62-5F features triangular stainless steel tubes brazed to the head and valve body. This geometry offers superior structural integrity compared to traditional round-tube designs. The flip-up forged brass cutting lever is positioned for ergonomic ease, reducing hand fatigue during extended cutting operations. The solid forged brass head eliminates the risk of seat warping, a common failure point in cast heads.

Technical Specifications

This model (1003450) is an 18-inch torch with a 90-degree head angle, suitable for general purpose and heavy plate cutting. It is rated to cut steel up to 12 inches (304.8mm) thick when paired with the appropriate tips. The torch includes integrated FlashGuard® check valves, which are easily replaceable in the field. The oxygen valve is designed with an 'ease-on' mechanism, providing the operator with fine control over the cutting oxygen stream for cleaner pierces and reduced slag blowback.
