DRAGON P8 550MM CUTTING TORCH — long barrel cutting for demanding jobs
The DRAGON P8 550mm cutting torch is a long-barrel manual cutter for oxy-fuel work on thick steel. REAL GAZ offers it for customers who regularly cut heavy sections or work close to hot metal.
A 550 mm barrel puts the operator's hands further from heat, and it helps when reaching over a workpiece or into a pit.

🔧 Handling & Technical Notes
When cutting thick sections, use a nozzle sized for the plate and a regulator capable of supplying the required oxygen flow. A single-cylinder supply may run low on long cuts, so consider a manifold for heavy use. Wear flame-resistant clothing, leather gloves and suitable eye protection throughout the job.
Long barrels amplify any imbalance, so choose hoses that are flexible enough to avoid pulling on the torch. A hose support or overhead boom can reduce strain on the operator in long cutting sessions. Where cutting is carried out in confined spaces such as tanks or pits, provide mechanical ventilation and a standby person, since fumes and oxygen enrichment present real dangers. Ask REAL GAZ for help with selecting nozzle sizes, hose lengths, regulators and cylinder sizes, so that the whole cutting outfit is matched to the thickness of steel you cut most often and to the way your team works.
