0386-0860 - TurboTorch TP-10 Extreme Pencil Flame Propane & MAP-Pro Torch

Precision and Durability with the TurboTorch TP-10

The TurboTorch TP-10 Pencil Flame Torch (SKU: 0386-0860) is a high-quality apparatus designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who require precision and reliability in their heating tools. Engineered by Victor under the renowned TurboTorch brand, this model exemplifies the "Extreme" series' commitment to robust construction and functional design. The core of the TP-10 is its solid brass body, which provides superior resistance to heat and mechanical wear compared to cheaper alloy alternatives. This ensures that the torch maintains its structural integrity even after prolonged use in demanding environments.

Functionally, the TP-10 excels in delivering a controlled, pencil-thin flame. This specific flame profile is essential for applications requiring targeted heat application without damaging surrounding components. The integrated flame control valve offers smooth adjustment, allowing the operator to fine-tune the gas flow from a gentle warming flame to a maximum output suitable for soldering and light brazing. Operating within a pressure range of 5-15 psi, the torch delivers consistent performance that professionals can rely on.

Versatility is a key feature of the TP-10. It is designed with a standard CGA 600 connection, making it compatible with widely available 14.1 oz disposable cylinders. Whether you prefer using Propane for general heating or MAP-Pro for higher temperature requirements, this torch handles both fuels efficiently. The ergonomic design, combined with the lightweight nature of the unit (measuring approximately 1.8" x 5.5" x 10"), ensures that it can be used comfortably for extended periods, reducing operator fatigue during complex plumbing or HVAC tasks.

Maintenance and safety are also addressed in the design. The brass construction is naturally resistant to corrosion, and the simple mechanical design means there are fewer points of failure. While it is a manual ignition torch requiring a striker, this traditional design is often preferred for its simplicity and reliability in field conditions where electronic igniters might fail. The TP-10 is an essential addition to any tool kit requiring a dependable, high-quality flame source.
