0386-0007 - TurboTorch LP-2 Propane/MAPP Torch Kit with T-3 & T-5 Tips

Technical Overview of the TurboTorch LP-2 Kit

The TurboTorch LP-2 LP Service Kit (SKU: 0386-0007) is a premier air-fuel torch outfit engineered specifically for the plumbing and HVAC industries. Utilizing TurboTorch's proprietary Swirl Combustion Technology, this kit maximizes the heat output and efficiency of Propane and MAP-PRO gases, delivering a stable, high-velocity flame that wraps around piping for even heat distribution. This technology allows the LP-2 kit to achieve performance levels comparable to acetylene systems for many applications, without the need for a separate oxygen cylinder.

The kit is built around the H-4 handle and RL-P regulator. The RL-P regulator features a CGA-510 connection, making it compatible with standard propane and MAPP tanks. It provides consistent pressure control to ensure optimal flame characteristics during operation. The included H-12 hose offers flexibility and durability in rugged job site environments. The system is designed with quick-disconnect features, allowing operators to switch tips rapidly without tools, minimizing downtime.

In terms of capacity, the LP-2 kit is highly versatile. When using MAPP gas, it is rated for soft soldering copper tubing up to 6 inches (150mm) in diameter and silver brazing up to 4 inches (100mm). This range covers the vast majority of residential and commercial HVAC and plumbing installations. The kit comes standard with two tips: the T-3 for smaller diameter work and the T-5 for larger pipes requiring higher heat input. The blue color-coded O-rings specifically identify the components for use with LP gases, preventing cross-contamination with acetylene equipment.
