Victor 0381-1486 Straight Cutting Torch
The Victor 0381-1486 is a straight cutting torch designed for oxygen and all fuel gases when paired with the proper cutting tip. It belongs to the Victor SST 2600FC series and features a 90-degree head angle with an overall length of 17 in. The torch handles cutting operations up to 8 in and uses Victor 1 series tips. It is intended for metal fabrication and repair tasks requiring a straight cutting torch configuration.
Inlet Connections and Tip Compatibility
The torch ships with 9/16-18 RH and 9/16-18 LH inlet connections for gas supply. No cutting tips, hoses or regulators are included in the package. Users must source Victor 1 series tips separately to match the material thickness and fuel gas type. The absence of bundled consumables means the operator selects the exact tip size required for each job rather than relying on a generic starter set.
Installation Notes and Common Issues
Installation requires threading the torch onto compatible 9/16-18 regulator outlets and securing a Victor 1 series cutting tip. The 90-degree head orientation is fixed and cannot be rotated or swapped for a straight head. Leaks at the inlet connections or tip seat are the most frequent issue and are usually resolved by inspecting seats for debris and applying the correct torque. This torch cannot be used for oxy-fuel welding applications.

Questions about this item
How often will the Victor 1-series cutting tips need replacement on this 0381-1486 torch?
Tip life depends on material thickness and fuel gas; inspect the Victor 1-series tip regularly and replace when the preheat flames become uneven or the cut edge shows excessive drag lines.
What is the maximum steel thickness this 90-degree head can cut before the 8-inch limit is reached?
The torch is rated to cut up to 8 inches of steel when paired with the correct Victor 1-series tip and proper oxygen/fuel pressures.
How hot does the 17-inch handle get during a full day of cutting with oxygen and fuel gas?
The handle stays cool enough to hold because the 90-degree head directs heat away, but gloves are still recommended for extended use.
