A-5 - Uniweld A-5 Quick Connect Swirl Combustion Tip for Air/Acetylene

Technical Overview of the Uniweld A-5 Twister Tip

The Uniweld A-5 Twister® Tip is a specialized combustion component designed for high-efficiency air/acetylene brazing and soldering applications. Engineered with Uniweld's proprietary helical blade technology, this tip generates a high-velocity swirl flame. This internal blade design forces the gas mixture into a spiral motion, optimizing the fuel-air mixture for maximum combustion efficiency and BTU output. The result is a flame that remains stable and intense, even under adverse environmental conditions such as high winds, making it a reliable choice for field service technicians.

The A-5 model is specifically calibrated for mid-range tubing sizes. It offers a soft solder capacity ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches and a silver braze capacity from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. This versatility makes it a standard tool for residential and light commercial HVAC installations. The tip features a Quick Connect coupling mechanism, ensuring compatibility with Uniweld TH6 handles as well as other major industry-standard quick-connect handles like the TurboTorch® Extreme™ series. This interoperability allows professionals to integrate the A-5 into existing tool kits without requiring proprietary handle assemblies.

Maintenance and longevity are addressed through the tip's construction. It includes a removable orifice screw, allowing for easy cleaning and debris removal, which is critical for maintaining consistent flame characteristics over the lifespan of the tool. The body is constructed from high-grade stainless steel and brass, providing resistance to oxidation and thermal deformation during prolonged use. The A-5 represents a balance of precision engineering and rugged durability, suitable for the demanding requirements of industrial MRO and professional plumbing environments.
