The TurboTorch ST-11 Extreme Tip Swirl (0386-1282) represents a significant advancement in air-fuel combustion technology for professional tradespeople. Engineered as part of the Extreme series, this tip utilizes a proprietary swirl combustion design that maximizes thermal efficiency. By forcing the fuel gas mixture into a high-velocity swirl pattern, the tip concentrates heat more effectively than standard venturi tips, resulting in higher flame temperatures and improved heat transfer to the workpiece. This specific model features a double barrel configuration, effectively doubling the flame output to handle larger pipe diameters and heavier wall thicknesses found in commercial HVAC and plumbing installations.
Versatility is a core component of the ST-11 design. It is fully compatible with both Propane and MAP-Pro (MAPP) gases, allowing technicians to select the fuel source that best fits the thermal requirements of the job. When operating with MAP-Pro gas, the ST-11 delivers impressive capacity, capable of soft soldering copper tubing up to 6 inches in diameter and silver brazing up to 3 inches. Even with standard Propane, the tip maintains substantial capability, soldering up to 4 inches and brazing up to 2 inches. This range makes it an indispensable tool for diverse applications, from residential plumbing retrofits to large-scale commercial pipe fitting.
Maintenance and usability are addressed through thoughtful engineering features. The tip assembly includes a 360-degree swivel mechanism, a critical feature for working in confined spaces such as ceiling plenums or inside wall cavities where torch angle is restricted. The orifice screw is designed to be easily removable, facilitating quick cleaning and debris removal to maintain optimal gas flow and flame characteristics over the life of the tool. The rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of daily field use, ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions.
