MAG2001X Underwater Cutting Torch

Top valve torches provide incredible cutting performance using less oxygen over traditional J style cutting torches while providing years of reliable service without maintenance in the most challenging field conditions. Our torches and cnsumables have found their way into sophisticated nuclear physics labs in Princeton as well as humble plantations in Central America. The versatility of the tool is unrivaled with over 24 separate processes from a mere change in hand position. Torch operates in both flame and flame arc mode to accommodate the widest selection of cutting rods.  Acme threaded torch head and insulated head nut prevents seizing from grit and sand in challenging field conditions. Interchangeable collets accommodate cutting rod diameters (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") for ultimate convenience. Top VALVE: The MAG2001X™ boasts a 4500 psi operating valve with stainless valve needle, stainless valve spring and ceramic valve ball. The precision valve displays low hand fatigue.

The ceramic valve ball ensures voltage cannot arc between the valve ball and valve needle during ignition.

Acme HEAD: The torch head boasts acme threads designed to discourage grit seizures in sandy environments. A mere quarter of a turn is sufficient to load and unload cutting rods.

Flashback prevention: Flashbacks occur between the torch head and the torch valve when bottom pressure pushes molten material back into the torch and flashes in the presence of excess oxygen. For this reason, bottom valve torches allow flash to travel through the diver’s hand on the way to the lower valve. In short, the torch handle can become a dangerous shape charge. The MAG2001X™ torch design displays a valve resting above the diver’s hand for ultimate flashback prevention. Moreover, the short nose tube from the torch head to the torch valve on the MAG2001X™ does not allow excess oxygen to accumulate, further providing protection against flashbacks.

Shock prevention: A concern among divers is separating the current from the oxygen supply. The MAG2001X™ does not require special torch transition hoses or connections because the oxygen hose connects directly to the torch valve. The voltage carrier bar is silver soldered directly to the valve stem for zero maintenance, preventing loose connections. The flat bar allows for a smaller ergonomic torch handle. At the end of the carrier bar is a lug for convenient connection to the dive cable umbilical.

Collet: Inside the head rests a collet with Viton washer for sealing cutting rods and preventing head leaks. A sintered cone sits behind the washer to catch any molten debris. In all, the MAG2001X™ is the safest, most advanced marine cutting torch on the market.

Marine Contractor - North Sea Operations

"Working in freezing North Sea conditions, reliability is everything. The silver-soldered voltage carrier bar connection has never loosened, and the Viton washer in the collet seals perfectly every time. The sintered cone that catches flashback debris gives me confidence in the safety engineering. This is professional-grade equipment built by people who understand diving" - Ian M., Marine Contractor, Scotland

Marine Construction Supervisor - Coastal Projects

"The combination of MAG3818 cutting rods and MAG7014X welding rods in one kit is genius. Our divers cut and weld on the same dive, completing jobs in half the time. The welding rods produce minimal spatter and the slag comes off easily even underwater" - Michelle K., Marine Construction Supervisor

Master Diver - Commercial Diving Company

"The top valve design is a game-changer for safety. Having the valve above my hand instead of below means flashbacks don't pass through my grip—that's saved me from injury at least twice in my career. The 5000 psi ceramic ball valve is the best in the industry" - Chris B., Master Diver, 20+ years experience

Underwater Construction Diver - Port Development

"The ergonomic flat bar voltage carrier design reduces hand fatigue during long cutting operations. I can work for 45 minutes straight without my hand cramping, which wasn't possible with our old cylindrical-handle torches. The silver-soldered connection has never loosened despite daily use" - Frank D., Construction Diver

Dive Training Director - Commercial Diving School

"We've trained over 500 students on the top valve cutting torch and it's the most reliable teaching tool we've ever used. The Viton washer and sintered cone design means minimal maintenance between training sessions. Students appreciate how intuitive the controls are" - Captain Anderson, Dive Training Director
