OVERVIEW

Reliable Soft Soldering with the TurboTorch S-3

For professionals in the plumbing and HVAC industries, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The TurboTorch S-3 Sof-Flame Replacement Tip (0386-0112) is engineered to deliver exactly that. Built from high-quality solid brass, this tip is designed to withstand the rigors of daily job site use while providing a consistent and controllable flame. Unlike high-intensity swirl tips that can sometimes overheat sensitive components or thin-walled piping, the Sof-Flame technology produces a gentle, stable flame that is perfect for soft soldering applications.

The S-3 tip is specifically calibrated for use with Air Acetylene gas, a standard in the industry for its efficiency and availability. It seamlessly integrates with WA-400 torch handles, making it a versatile addition to your existing TurboTorch kit. Whether you are repairing residential water lines or installing new copper piping, this tip offers a soft solder capacity ranging from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch. This range covers the most common pipe sizes encountered in residential and light commercial work, ensuring you have the right tool for the majority of your tasks.

Durability and Maintenance

One of the standout features of the TurboTorch S-3 is its serviceable design. The tip comes equipped with a replaceable orifice (Model OR-T3, part number 0386-1021). In the event of a clog or wear over time, you can simply replace the orifice rather than discarding the entire tip, saving you money and reducing waste. The solid brass construction not only resists corrosion but also dissipates heat effectively, protecting the tip from deformation during prolonged use.

Enhanced Flexibility

Adding the S-3 tip to your toolkit increases the flexibility of your standard torch setup. It extends your reach and allows for precise heat application in tight spaces where a larger flame might cause collateral damage. It is an essential accessory for any tradesperson looking to maintain high standards of workmanship in soft soldering projects.
