OVERVIEW

Reliable Soft Soldering with the TurboTorch S-4 Tip

The TurboTorch S-4 Air Acetylene Sof-Flame Replacement Tip (0386-0113) is an essential component for professionals in the plumbing and HVAC industries who rely on precision and durability. Engineered by TurboTorch, a leader in gas apparatus, this tip is designed to deliver a consistent and controlled flame, making it ideal for soft soldering applications. The S-4 model specifically targets copper tubing sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch, covering the most common pipe diameters found in residential and light commercial installations.

Constructed from solid brass, the S-4 tip is built to withstand the rigors of daily job site use. Brass offers superior heat resistance and durability compared to lesser materials, ensuring that the tip maintains its structural integrity even after prolonged heating cycles. This resilience translates to a longer service life and fewer replacements, providing excellent value for the professional tradesperson. The tip is designed to fit seamlessly with WA-400 torch handles, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection that prioritizes operator safety.

One of the standout features of the Sof-Flame series is its ability to provide a "soft" heat that wraps around the workpiece without the intensity of a swirl combustion tip. This makes it particularly forgiving for soft soldering, where overheating the flux or base metal can lead to poor joint quality. By adding the S-4 tip to your toolkit, you increase the flexibility of your standard TurboTorch kit, extending your operational range up to 4 inches. Whether you are repairing a leak or installing new water lines, the S-4 delivers the performance you need.

Key Benefits for Plumbers

  • Precision Control: The Sof-Flame design minimizes the risk of burning through light-gauge copper.
  • Easy Maintenance: Features a replaceable orifice (OR-A5) to restore performance if clogging occurs.
  • Robust Build: Solid brass construction resists corrosion and physical damage.

FAQ

The S-4 tip is designed to fit the TurboTorch WA-400 torch handle.

This tip is rated for soft soldering copper tubing from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter.

No, the S-4 Sof-Flame tip is designed specifically for use with Air Acetylene fuel.

The replacement orifice for the S-4 tip is part number OR-A5 (0386-1002).

The S-4 tip is constructed from solid brass for durability and heat resistance.

The S-4 is primarily designed for soft soldering. For silver brazing, a swirl combustion tip is generally recommended for higher heat output.

Sof-Flame tips provide a softer, passive flame ideal for basic soldering, while Swirl tips create a high-velocity, hotter flame for faster heating and brazing.
