0311-0215 - Victor Size 1 TEMFA Acetylene Heating Tip End

Technical Overview of the Victor 1-TEMFA Heating Tip

The Victor 1-TEMFA (SKU: 0311-0215) is a specialized replaceable tip end designed for the TEMFA series of heating nozzles. Engineered for precision and durability, this component is manufactured from high-quality brass, ensuring resistance to high temperatures and mechanical wear typical in industrial environments. The tip is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene fuel gas, leveraging the high flame temperature and heat transfer properties of oxy-acetylene mixtures to perform efficient thermal operations.

This specific model is a Size 1 tip, which dictates the orifice size and flow rate, making it suitable for light to medium-duty applications. The unit features a multi-flame configuration. Unlike single-flame welding tips, the multi-flame design distributes heat over a wider surface area, which is critical for processes such as general purpose brazing, silver brazing, and pre-heating materials prior to welding or bending. The uniform heat distribution helps prevent localized overheating and ensures proper capillary action during brazing operations.

Mechanically, the 1-TEMFA utilizes a 5/8" - 27 thread pitch, a standard specification for this series, allowing for secure attachment to compatible elbows and mixers. This modular design philosophy allows operators to replace only the worn tip end rather than the entire nozzle assembly, optimizing operational costs and inventory management. The component is rated for industrial and general fabrication, repair and maintenance (MRO), and structural steel fabrication contexts. It is a one-piece construction designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining consistent flame characteristics.

In terms of specifications, the physical dimensions are approximately 0.6 x 1.3 x 0.6 inches, making it a compact yet robust addition to any oxy-fuel toolkit. It is strictly for heating and brazing processes and is not designed for cutting applications. Users must ensure they are using the correct mixer and handle combination to match the flow requirements of a Size 1 TEMFA tip to prevent backfires or unstable flames.
