Victor 2-MFA-1 Heating Nozzle: Precision Heat for Industrial Fabrication

The Victor 0324-0108 2-MFA-1 Heating Nozzle represents the gold standard in medium-duty oxy-acetylene heating solutions. Designed as part of the renowned Victor 100 Series, this multi-flame heating head—often referred to in the industry as a "rosebud"—is engineered to deliver consistent, high-intensity heat for a variety of metallurgical applications. Whether you are involved in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, or general industrial maintenance, the 2-MFA-1 provides the thermal output required for efficient heat treating, metal straightening, and surface priming.

Manufactured from high-grade copper and brass, the 2-MFA-1 is built to withstand the rigorous demands of daily industrial use. The assembly features an individual spiral mixer that optimizes the fuel-oxygen ratio, ensuring a stable flame profile even under varying pressure conditions. With a tip size of 2, this nozzle is calibrated to produce approximately 13,230 BTUs per hour, making it an ideal choice for localized heating tasks where precision is as critical as power. The 12-inch length allows operators to maintain a safe working distance from the heat source while accessing hard-to-reach areas within complex assemblies.

Compatibility and Performance

The 2-MFA-1 is specifically designed for use with Acetylene and Hydrogen fuel gases. It seamlessly integrates with Victor's 100FC and 101-01FP torch handles, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection that professionals trust. Unlike single-flame welding tips, the multi-flame configuration of the MFA-1 series distributes heat over a wider surface area, reducing the risk of localized melting while rapidly bringing the base metal to the required working temperature. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for bending flat bars, straightening warped shafts, or preheating weld joints to prevent cracking in high-carbon steels.

Safety and Operational Excellence

Victor's commitment to safety is evident in the design of the MFA-1 nozzle. The internal geometry is engineered to resist flashbacks, a critical feature when working with high-velocity acetylene flames. The nozzle's robust construction also aids in heat dissipation, prolonging the service life of the tip and handle assembly. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use this nozzle with appropriate regulators and hoses rated for the specific flow requirements of a size 2 heating tip. By choosing genuine Victor components, operators ensure compliance with safety standards and maximize the efficiency of their oxy-fuel processes.
