0386-0105 - TurboTorch A-14 Extreme Air Acetylene Swirl Tip 1/2 Inch

High-Performance Air Acetylene Brazing Tip

The TurboTorch A-14 Air Acetylene Tip (0386-0105) is a premier choice for professional contractors in the HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration industries. Engineered by Victor under the renowned TurboTorch brand, this tip exemplifies the power of Swirl Combustion Technology. By creating a high-velocity, swirling flame, the A-14 delivers superior heat transfer compared to standard tips, ensuring that copper tubing reaches the optimal brazing temperature rapidly and evenly. This efficiency not only speeds up job completion but also conserves fuel gas over time.

Designed for versatility and heavy-duty capacity, the A-14 features a 1/2-inch tip size capable of handling substantial pipe work. It is rated for soft soldering copper tubing from 2 inches up to 3-1/2 inches in diameter and can silver braze lines from 1 inch to 2 inches. This range makes it an essential tool for installing commercial water lines, refrigeration loops, and large residential HVAC systems. The tip operates efficiently at 14 PSI with a gas flow of approximately 14.5 SCFH.

Maintenance and compatibility are key strengths of the A-14 model. It is designed to fit standard TurboTorch G-4 and PLF-A5 handles, utilizing a quick-disconnect coupling for fast and secure attachment. The tip includes a removable orifice screw, allowing users to easily clean out carbon buildup or debris, thereby extending the lifespan of the equipment. Safety is also prioritized with a red color-coded O-ring, clearly indicating that this tip is exclusively for use with Acetylene gas, preventing dangerous cross-connections with other fuel types.

Whether you are performing rough-in plumbing or precision HVAC repairs, the TurboTorch A-14 provides the reliable, intense heat required for high-quality joints. Its rugged construction ensures it stands up to the demands of daily industrial use.
