OVERVIEW

Technical Overview of the TurboTorch ST-4 Extreme Tip

The TurboTorch ST-4 (SKU: 0386-0183) is a high-performance replacement tip designed for the Extreme series of self-lighting torches. Engineered for professional HVAC and plumbing applications, this tip employs TurboTorch's patented Swirl Combustion technology. This design creates a vortex of air and fuel within the tip, resulting in a highly stable, high-velocity flame that maximizes heat transfer to the workpiece. The ST-4 is calibrated for optimal performance with both Propane and MAP-Pro gases, offering versatility across various job site requirements.

Constructed from durable materials to withstand high operating temperatures, the ST-4 features a replaceable orifice screw, allowing for easy maintenance and extended product life. When paired with an STK series handle (such as the STK-1, STK-9, STK-11, or STK-99), the tip utilizes the handle's ignition system to provide reliable starts. The tip is rated for soft soldering copper tubing from 1/4 inch up to 2-1/2 inches when using MAPP gas, and silver brazing up to 1-1/4 inches, making it a critical component for efficient pipe joining.

The aerodynamic design of the flame ensures that heat wraps around the pipe, ensuring even heating and proper capillary action of the solder or braze alloy. This reduces gas consumption and labor time, providing a tangible return on investment for industrial users. The tip connects securely to the handle assembly, ensuring a leak-free seal and safe operation during intensive use.

FAQ

The ST-4 tip is designed to fit TurboTorch STK series handles, including the STK-1, STK-9, STK-11, and STK-99.

This tip is optimized for use with Propane and MAP-Pro (MAPP) gases. It is not designed for Acetylene.

With Propane, it can soft solder 1/4" to 1-1/2". With MAP-Pro, the capacity increases to 1/4" to 2-1/2".

Yes, the ST-4 is capable of silver brazing up to 3/4" pipe with Propane and up to 1-1/4" pipe with MAP-Pro.

No, the ST-4 is a replacement tip. The ignition mechanism is located in the STK handle, but the tip is designed to work seamlessly with that self-lighting system.

Yes, the ST-4 features a replaceable orifice screw, which allows for cleaning or repair without discarding the entire tip.

Swirl Combustion is a technology that mixes fuel and air in a vortex within the tip, creating a hotter, more stable, and more efficient flame than standard tips.

The term 'Snake' in some listings is likely a misnomer or refers to a different flexible product. The 0386-0183 is the rigid ST-4 Extreme Standard Tip.
