C2 - Uniweld C2 Quickbraze Acetylene Tip, 1-1/8 Inch Capacity

Technical Overview of the Uniweld C2 Quickbraze Tip

The Uniweld C2 Quickbraze Tip is a specialized component designed for professional HVAC and plumbing applications requiring precision heat control and efficiency. Engineered to operate with Acetylene gas, this tip delivers a substantial thermal output of 12,350 BTUs, making it capable of handling copper tubing sizes up to 1-1/8 inches. The specific "C Flame" designation indicates a flame geometry optimized for wrapping around cylindrical tubing, ensuring uniform heat distribution which is critical for the proper capillary action of brazing alloys. This uniform heating helps prevent cold joints and ensures structural integrity in high-pressure refrigerant lines.

A defining feature of this model is its integration into the Quickbraze system. Unlike traditional threaded tips that require wrench tightening and time-consuming changeovers, the Quickbraze mechanism allows for rapid attachment and detachment. This is particularly beneficial in field service environments where technicians may need to switch between different tip sizes or flame styles frequently. The internal geometry of the tip is machined to strict tolerances to maintain a stable flame cone and prevent flashback, ensuring safety during operation. The 12,350 BTU rating places this tip in a medium-to-high output category suitable for a wide range of installation and repair tasks.

Material construction involves high-grade alloys capable of withstanding the intense thermal cycles inherent in oxy-acetylene brazing. The tip's orifice is precision-drilled to ensure optimal gas mixing and flow velocity, maximizing the combustion efficiency of the acetylene fuel. When paired with a compatible Quickbraze handle, the C2 tip offers a leak-proof seal and ergonomic balance, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. For professionals seeking a reliable, high-performance solution for 1-1/8 inch capacity brazing, the Uniweld C2 represents a technically superior choice.

Proper maintenance of the C2 tip involves regular inspection of the orifice for carbon buildup or slag, which can distort the flame pattern. Using a standard tip cleaner designed for the specific drill size of the C2 will maintain its performance characteristics over time. The tip is designed to function optimally within standard acetylene pressure ranges, and operators should verify regulator settings to match the manufacturer's recommendations for 12,350 BTU output.
