Victor ST2651FC 48-Inch 75-Degree Heavy Duty Straight Torch

Victor 0381-1503 ST2651FC Torch: Performance and Reach

For welders and fabricators looking for a cutting solution that combines reach, power, and safety, the Victor 0381-1503 ST2651FC Straight Cutting Torch is the ultimate choice. This 48-inch heavy-duty torch is specifically built to keep you safe and comfortable during long shifts of cutting thick steel. The extra length is not just about reach; it is a critical safety feature that keeps your hands and body away from the radiant heat of the cut, which is essential when working on large scrapping projects or demolition jobs where heat buildup is significant.

The ST2651FC is a member of the trusted ST2600FC family, known for its durability and high-flow capacity. Whether you are cutting structural beams, dismantling heavy machinery, or processing scrap metal, this torch delivers consistent results. It features a 75-degree head angle, which many operators find superior for walking the torch across plates or accessing awkward angles that a standard 90-degree head might make difficult. The top rear cutting lever is designed for smooth operation, allowing for feathering of the oxygen stream when piercing or washing.

What sets this torch apart is its "All Fuel" capability. You are not locked into a single gas type. Whether your shop runs on Acetylene for fast preheats or Propane for cost-effective scrapping, the ST2651FC handles it all with the correct Series 1 tips. This adaptability makes it an invaluable asset for mobile rigs and diverse workshops. Furthermore, the cutting capacity of up to 8 inches means you won't be reaching for a different tool when the material gets thick.

Victor has also prioritized your safety by integrating flashback arrestors and check valves directly into the torch body. This "VanGuard" safety design means you have protection against flashbacks and reverse flow without the added bulk of external devices at the inlet. This streamlined design improves balance and reduces the strain on your wrists. When you choose the Victor 0381-1503, you are investing in a tool that is ready to perform safely and reliably, day in and day out.
