Harris Model 62-5 Hand Cutting Torch 21-Inch 90-Degree Head

Precision and Power: Harris 62-5EL Cutting Torch

Upgrade your cutting game with the Harris 62-5EL (1003440), a 21-inch heavy-duty straight cutting torch that defines reliability in the welding and cutting industry. This torch is built for welders who demand performance and longevity from their equipment. The Model 62-5EL is a "straight" torch, meaning the handle and head are inline (with a 90-degree head angle), which keeps the operator's hands further from the heat zone compared to combination torches, making it perfect for heavy plate cutting and demolition work. Capable of slicing through 12 inches of steel, this tool is a powerhouse for any shop or field application.

One of the standout features of the 62-5EL is its "E" type mixer, an equal or positive pressure mixing system. This design is critical for maintaining a stable flame and resisting damage due to flashback, a common concern in heavy cutting. The torch is compatible with all fuel gases—acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas—offering you the flexibility to use whatever fuel is most cost-effective or available for your job. The solid forged brass head stands up to the intense heat and knocks of the job site, while the triangular tube arrangement offers superior structural integrity compared to standard round tube designs.

Operator comfort and control are paramount in the design of the 62-5EL. The ease-on cutting valve is a favorite among professionals, allowing for a gradual introduction of cutting oxygen. This feature is essential for smooth starts, especially when piercing thick plate, preventing the molten metal blowback that often occurs with sudden valve opening. The flip-up forged brass lever is durable and easy to engage, even with heavy welding gloves. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easily replaceable FlashGuard® check valves that add an extra layer of safety by stopping reverse gas flow. UL® listed and built to last, the Harris 62-5EL is the smart choice for serious metal cutting.
