TYPE7928-43-6 - Uniweld 7928-43-6 Oxy-Acetylene Heating Tip #6 (Harris Style)

Uniweld TYPE7928-43-6 Heating Head Overview

The Uniweld TYPE7928-43-6 is a specialized heating head designed for industrial oxy-acetylene applications. Part of the 7928-43 Series, this component is engineered to provide high-capacity heat output for tasks requiring rapid thermal transfer, such as preheating heavy plates, flame straightening structural steel, and bending large diameter pipes. The tip features a multi-flame configuration, commonly referred to as a 'rosebud,' which distributes heat over a wider surface area compared to standard welding tips, preventing localized melting while ensuring deep heat penetration.

This heating head is manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, selected for its superior thermal conductivity and resistance to heat deformation. The design incorporates precision-drilled orifices that ensure a stable flame cone and optimal gas mixing when used with the appropriate equipment. It is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas; users must ensure they are not using alternate fuel gases like Propane or Propylene with this specific model, as the combustion characteristics differ significantly.

Compatibility is a key feature of the TYPE7928-43-6. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Uniweld's 43 Series torch handles, specifically the 43L9 model. However, direct connection to the handle is not possible; this heating head requires the use of the Uniweld UM43 mixer to function correctly. The mixer ensures the oxygen and acetylene are blended at the correct ratios before reaching the tip, ensuring safety and performance. This setup is often compatible with Harris-style equipment, making it a versatile choice for shops with mixed equipment inventories.

For procurement and inventory management, this SKU represents a single #6 size heating tip. It is an essential consumable for MRO operations involving heavy fabrication, shipyards, and structural steel repair. The robust construction ensures a long service life, provided the tip is kept clean and operated within recommended pressure settings.
