The Uniweld EXT-18 is a premium 18-inch extension tube engineered specifically for use with Oxweld #100 series torch handles and compatible heating heads. In heavy industrial environments where high-output heating is required—such as preheating heavy castings, bending large diameter pipe, or straightening structural steel—radiant heat can become a significant hazard and discomfort for the operator. This extension bridges the gap between the handle and the heating tip, providing a critical safety buffer.
Constructed from high-durability stainless steel tubing with precision-machined brass coupling nuts, the EXT-18 ensures a leak-proof seal and long service life even under thermal cycling. The extension is designed to maintain optimal gas flow characteristics, ensuring that the performance of the heating head (rosebud) is not compromised. It easily attaches to the mixer or handle assembly of standard Oxweld W-100 style equipment, making it a versatile addition to any oxy-fuel outfit.
By utilizing the EXT-18, facilities can ensure compliance with safety best practices by minimizing operator exposure to extreme heat. It also allows for better access to recessed or hard-to-reach areas without forcing the operator into awkward or dangerous positions. This component is essential for MRO operations involving heavy fabrication, shipyards, and structural repair.
