TYPE79E-6 - Uniweld TYPE79E-6 Harris Style Brazing Elbow Size 6

Technical Overview of the Uniweld TYPE79E-6

The Uniweld TYPE79E-6 is a specialized brazing tip elbow engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal joining and HVAC maintenance. Designed as a direct replacement for Harris-style equipment, this component is calibrated as a size #6 tip, offering a specific flow rate and flame size suitable for medium-duty brazing and heating applications. The unit is manufactured from high-grade copper tubing, a material selected for its superior thermal conductivity and resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures. This ensures that the tip maintains its structural integrity and internal geometry even after prolonged exposure to the intense heat of an oxy-acetylene flame.

Compatibility is a key feature of the TYPE79E-6. It is specifically machined to mate perfectly with the Uniweld UM43 mixer. This precise fitment is critical for safety and performance, ensuring a leak-free seal where the fuel gas and oxygen mix before combustion. The elbow configuration provides a significant ergonomic advantage over straight tips, allowing the operator to direct heat around pipes and into confined spaces often encountered in plumbing chases and mechanical rooms. By angling the flame, the technician can maintain a comfortable torch position while ensuring the workpiece receives uniform heat distribution.

In the context of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the TYPE79E-6 serves as a vital consumable for facility managers and technicians who rely on Harris-style torch handles. It replicates the performance characteristics of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, providing a stable, neutral flame essential for capillary action in silver soldering and brazing. Whether used for repairing copper lines, fabricating metal assemblies, or general heating tasks, this elbow delivers consistent thermal output. Proper maintenance of the tip, including regular cleaning of the orifice with appropriate tip cleaners, will extend its service life and ensure optimal gas flow.
