The TurboTorch 0386-1005 OR-A14 Orifice is a specialized replacement component engineered specifically for the A-14 Air Acetylene tip series. In the dynamics of air-fuel combustion, the orifice serves as the critical metering point that dictates gas velocity and volume prior to mixing and ignition. Over prolonged periods of use, the original orifice within a torch tip can suffer from carbon fouling, mechanical deformation, or erosion due to high-velocity gas flow. These deviations from the original geometry can result in unstable flame patterns, reduced thermal output, and inefficient fuel consumption. This OEM replacement part is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure the tip operates exactly as designed.
Constructed from high-quality brass, the OR-A14 is designed to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in brazing and soldering operations. It ensures that the acetylene gas is delivered at the correct pressure drop to induce the necessary air aspiration for a neutral, hot flame. For technicians and maintenance professionals, replacing the orifice is a standard procedure to rectify issues such as flame lift-off, flashback, or sputtering. This component is essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of the TurboTorch air-acetylene system.
Installation of the 0386-1005 is straightforward, requiring disassembly of the tip to access the internal gas path. Once installed, it restores the concentricity and flow rate of the gas stream, which is vital for applications requiring precise heat control, such as silver brazing copper lines or soft soldering plumbing fixtures. By utilizing genuine TurboTorch components, operators ensure compatibility and reliability, avoiding the risks associated with ill-fitting generic parts.
