0386-0823 - PL-5T Proline Swirl Combustion Tip for Propane and MAPP

TurboTorch PL-5T Proline Self Lighting Tip: Precision Heating for Professionals

The TurboTorch 0386-0823 PL-5T Proline Self Lighting Tip represents the pinnacle of air-fuel combustion technology, designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the HVAC and plumbing industries. As part of the renowned Proline series, this tip assembly integrates TurboTorch's patented Swirl Combustion technology. This advanced airflow design creates a vortex within the tip, mixing fuel and air more thoroughly to produce a high-velocity, high-temperature flame. The result is superior heat transfer that wraps around copper tubing, ensuring even heating and faster solder flow compared to conventional torch tips.

Engineered for versatility and efficiency, the PL-5T is optimized for use with both Propane and MAPP (MAP-Pro) gases. When utilizing Propane, it delivers a soft solder capacity of 1-1/2 inches to 2-1/2 inches and a silver braze capacity of 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inches. Performance is further enhanced with MAPP gas, expanding the soft solder range to 1 inch through 4 inches and silver brazing capabilities up to 2 inches. This wide operational range makes the PL-5T an essential tool for professionals dealing with various pipe diameters in residential and commercial installations.

The unit features a robust self-lighting piezo ignition system, eliminating the need for external strikers and allowing for one-handed operation. The tip is equipped with a quick-disconnect mechanism, a hallmark of the Proline series, which enables technicians to switch between different tip sizes in seconds without the need for tools. Durability is a core focus of the design; the tip end is replaceable, ensuring that the main assembly remains in service for years. Whether you are performing soft soldering on large diameter drainage lines or precision silver brazing on refrigerant lines, the PL-5T delivers consistent, reliable heat output.
