OVERVIEW

Reliable Soldering with the TurboTorch WSF-3 Sof-Flame Kit

The TurboTorch WSF-3 Sof-Flame Kit (0386-0089) is a premier choice for professional plumbers and HVAC technicians who require precision and control in their soldering applications. While modern swirl combustion technology offers high heat, there are many scenarios in plumbing—specifically when working with smaller diameter copper pipes or sensitive fittings—where a massive heat output is detrimental. The Sof-Flame technology provided in this kit delivers a steady, controlled flame that ensures the solder flows smoothly via capillary action without overheating the base metal or burning the flux prematurely. This makes it an essential tool for residential plumbing repairs and installations.

Engineered for Harsh Environments

TurboTorch has developed the WSF-3 kit to withstand the rigors of daily use in harsh industrial and construction environments. The components are manufactured from high-quality brass and alloys that resist corrosion and physical damage. The kit is designed to fit MC acetylene tanks, making it a highly portable solution for contractors who need to move through tight spaces or climb ladders without being weighed down by heavy equipment. The regulator and handle are built to maintain consistent gas flow, ensuring that your flame remains stable even as the tank pressure changes during use.

Maintenance and Compatibility

One of the standout features of the WSF-3 kit is its focus on ease of maintenance. The tips included in the kit feature a threaded connection, which provides a secure seal and prevents gas leaks during operation. Furthermore, the tips are equipped with a removable orifice screw. This design consideration allows the user to easily clean out carbon buildup or debris that might clog the tip over time, extending the lifespan of the consumable parts. Additionally, the system is versatile; it can be used with a snappy adapter to connect to "A" style tips, giving the user flexibility depending on the specific requirements of the job at hand.

Complete Acetylene Solution

This kit comes ready to work, requiring only an MC acetylene cylinder to get started. It is the perfect balance of traditional soldering feel with modern manufacturing reliability. Whether you are sweating copper joints in a residential bathroom or performing maintenance in a commercial mechanical room, the TurboTorch WSF-3 provides the soft, wrap-around flame characteristics that seasoned professionals trust for a leak-free seal.

FAQ

The WSF-3 kit is designed to fit MC acetylene tanks, which use a CGA 200 connection.

This is a Sof-Flame torch, which provides a traditional soft flame ideal for soldering, rather than a high-heat swirl flame.

Yes, the tips feature a removable orifice screw that allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.

It is primarily developed for plumbing applications, specifically soft soldering in harsh environments.

Yes, the kit typically includes an acetylene regulator designed for MC tanks.

The tips have a threaded connection and can also be used with a snappy adapter to connect to 'A' style tips.

The manufacturer part number is 0386-0089.

While it can heat metal, the Sof-Flame is optimized for soft soldering. For brazing larger pipes, a swirl flame torch might be more efficient.
