OVERVIEW

Restore Precision Flame Control with the TurboTorch OR-A2 Orifice

The TurboTorch OR-A2 Orifice (0386-1000) is a critical maintenance component designed to extend the lifespan of your professional soldering and brazing equipment. Over time, the internal orifice of a torch tip can become clogged with carbon deposits, flux residue, or suffer from mechanical wear due to thermal cycling. This degradation disrupts the laminar flow of gas, resulting in a sputtering flame, reduced heat output, or an inability to maintain a proper flame structure. Instead of discarding a high-quality tip, the OR-A2 allows for a cost-effective restoration of factory performance.

This genuine OEM part is precision-machined from high-grade brass to exacting tolerances. It is specifically engineered to fit TurboTorch A-2 (Air Acetylene) and T-2 (Propane/MAPP) tips. The orifice acts as the metering jet for the fuel gas, determining the velocity and volume of gas that mixes with air in the venturi. A fresh orifice ensures the correct fuel-to-air ratio is achieved, providing the maximum target heat for efficient copper pipe soldering and brazing applications.

Professional HVAC technicians and plumbers rely on TurboTorch equipment for its reliability. Keeping a spare OR-A2 in your service kit ensures that a clogged tip doesn't halt production on the job site. Installation is straightforward, requiring only the removal of the old orifice and the seating of the new one, instantly bringing the tip back to its original specifications.

Key Technical Benefits

  • OEM Precision: Manufactured by TurboTorch to guarantee perfect thread fitment and gas flow rates.
  • Versatile Compatibility: One part number services both the popular A-2 acetylene tip and the T-2 propane tip.
  • Cost Savings: significantly cheaper than purchasing a complete replacement tip assembly.
  • Material Quality: Brass construction withstands high temperatures and resists corrosion from fuel gases.

FAQ

The OR-A2 orifice is designed specifically for TurboTorch A-2 (Air Acetylene) and T-2 (Propane/MAPP) tips.

If your torch flame is sputtering, uneven, has reduced heat output, or if the tip will not stay lit, the orifice is likely clogged or worn.

While you can sometimes clean them, it is not recommended to use metal wires or drills as this can enlarge the precision hole, ruining the flame pattern. Replacement is the most reliable fix.

This is a genuine TurboTorch part designed for TurboTorch tips. It may not fit or function correctly in tips from other manufacturers like Goss or Prest-O-Lite unless specified.

The OR-A2 is machined from high-quality brass.

Yes, but only for the specific tip sizes mentioned: the A-2 (which is for acetylene) and the T-2 (which is for propane/MAPP).

No, the orifice typically screws into the base of the tip assembly. It can be replaced in minutes with basic tools.
