OVERVIEW

High-Performance Oxy-Acetylene Heating Head

The Uniweld TYPE7928E-6 is a specialized heating head engineered for industrial metalworking applications requiring concentrated and efficient heat input. Part of the TYPE7928E Series, this component is designed specifically for use with Oxy-Acetylene fuel gas, leveraging the high flame temperature of acetylene to perform rapid preheating, straightening, and bending tasks. The unit features a multi-flame orifice configuration that distributes heat evenly across the target area, preventing hot spots while ensuring deep thermal penetration necessary for working with thicker steel sections.

Structurally, the head is constructed from high-grade copper, which provides excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to the intense heat generated during prolonged operation. The "Elbow" design is a critical functional feature, angling the tip away from the handle axis. This ergonomic configuration allows operators to maintain a comfortable grip and safe distance from the workpiece while accessing difficult angles or confined spaces that straight tips cannot reach. It is an essential tool for MRO professionals involved in structural steel repair, pipe fabrication, and heavy equipment maintenance.

Compatibility is key to the safe operation of oxy-fuel equipment. The TYPE7928E-6 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Uniweld's heavy-duty systems. It requires the use of specific mixers—either the UM43 or the WH79—to ensure the correct volumetric flow and mixing ratio of oxygen and acetylene. These mixers connect the heating head to standard 43 Series torch handles, such as the 43L9 or UM79. Proper matching of the heating head, mixer, and handle is vital for preventing flashbacks and maintaining a stable flame profile. This #6 size tip offers a balanced heat output suitable for a wide range of medium-to-heavy duty heating requirements found in shipyards, fabrication shops, and construction sites.

Operators must ensure that their acetylene supply system can support the withdrawal rate required by a #6 heating tip. Insufficient acetylene flow can lead to tip starvation and overheating. When paired with the appropriate cylinder capacity and regulator settings, the Uniweld TYPE7928E-6 delivers reliable, high-BTU performance for demanding thermal processes.

APPLICATIONS

  • Metal Preheating: Raising the temperature of base metals prior to welding to reduce cooling rates and prevent cracking.
  • Flame Straightening: Correcting distortion in steel structures by applying localized heat.
  • Bending and Forming: Heating bars, pipes, or plates to make them pliable for shaping.
  • Brazing: Providing broad heat coverage for large-scale brazing operations.
  • Shrink Fitting: Expanding metal parts for assembly or disassembly.

FAQ

This heating head is designed exclusively for use with Oxy-Acetylene. It should not be used with alternate fuels like Propane or Propylene.

It fits Uniweld 43 Series torch handles, such as the 43L9 and UM79, as well as compatible Victor-style heavy-duty handles.

Yes, this heating head requires a mixer. It is compatible with Uniweld mixer models UM43 or WH79.

The elbow design angles the tip, allowing for better ergonomics and easier access to workpieces in confined or difficult-to-reach areas.

No, this is a heating head (rosebud) designed for preheating and straightening. It does not have a central oxygen jet required for cutting.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the orifices snugly without forcing it, and gently clean out carbon deposits.

This is a size #6 heating head, suitable for medium-to-heavy duty heating applications.

Likely not. Multi-flame heating heads consume a large volume of acetylene. You must ensure your cylinder capacity is sufficient to prevent withdrawing more than 1/7th (or 1/10th depending on safety standards) of the cylinder's content per hour.
