2328 - 28-Inch Harris Style Heating Tip Elbow for UM43F Mixer

Technical Overview of the Uniweld 2328 Tip Elbow

The Uniweld 2328 is a specialized oxy-fuel component designed to extend the operational reach of standard heating assemblies. Engineered as a 28-inch tip elbow, this unit serves as the critical interface between the gas mixer and the heating tip. It is specifically manufactured to mate with the Uniweld UM43F mixer, a component widely recognized in the industry for its compatibility with Harris-style equipment. The 2328 elbow is constructed to handle the flow dynamics of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Propane, and Natural Gas, making it an essential tool for alternative fuel heating processes.

Structurally, the elbow features high-grade stainless steel tubing. This material selection is paramount for maintaining structural integrity under the high thermal loads associated with heavy heating, bending, and straightening operations. The stainless steel resists oxidation and scaling better than standard carbon steel, ensuring a longer service life even in harsh industrial environments. The coupling mechanism utilizes a precision-machined brass nut, designed to provide a gas-tight seal against the mixer body, preventing hazardous leaks and ensuring efficient fuel delivery to the tip.

The 28-inch length is not merely a dimensional specification but a functional safety feature. In applications such as preheating large castings, treating structural steel, or descaling heavy machinery, the radiant heat generated can be intense. This extended elbow allows the operator to maintain a safer standoff distance, reducing fatigue and heat exposure. By utilizing the Harris-style connection geometry, Uniweld ensures that this elbow can be integrated into a vast ecosystem of existing industrial torches and mixers without the need for proprietary adapters.

This component is strictly an elbow extension and requires a compatible heating tip (sold separately) to function. It is engineered to optimize the flame characteristics provided by the mixer, ensuring that the gas velocity and mixture ratio remain stable as they travel through the extended tube length. For industrial MRO professionals seeking reliable, compatible, and durable oxy-fuel extensions, the Uniweld 2328 represents a standard of excellence in gas apparatus manufacturing.
