Victor HC1170C 72-Inch Heavy Duty Scrap Cutting Torch

The Scrapper's Best Friend: 72 Inches of Reach

When you are out in the yard breaking down heavy machinery or cutting up structural steel, you don't want to be right on top of the heat. The Victor HC1170C is the 6-foot beast you need to get the job done safely and efficiently. Known in the industry as a premier "scrap torch," this tool gives you the reach to cut deep into piles or sever overhead beams while keeping your body out of harm's way. The 72-inch barrel isn't just about reach; it's about leverage and keeping your PPE from melting during those long, hot cuts.

Victor didn't cut corners on durability. The HC1170C uses a three-tube stainless steel design that can take a beating. We know that in a scrap yard, torches get dropped, dragged, and knocked around. This torch is built to survive that environment. The 90-degree head is perfect for the majority of your cuts, whether you are washing off rivet heads or slicing through I-beams. Plus, the locking oxygen lever means you can lock it on for those long, continuous cuts, saving your hand from cramping up halfway through a shift.

Power to Burn

Don't let the size fool you; this isn't just a long tube. It's a high-capacity powerhouse. Rated to cut steel up to 18 inches thick, the HC1170C can handle the thickest scrap you throw at it. Whether you are running Acetylene or Propane, just slap on the right Victor Series 1 tip and you are ready to go. It uses standard "B" size hose connections, so it hooks right up to your existing heavy-duty regulators and hoses without needing special adapters.
