The Victor 15-MFA Heating Nozzle (SKU: 0323-0262) is a premium-grade, multi-flame heating head engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications. Designed to function exclusively with Acetylene and Hydrogen fuel gases, this nozzle is a critical component for professionals requiring precise and intense heat distribution. The MFA series is characterized by its one-piece construction, which integrates an individual spiral mixer. This design element is pivotal for ensuring a consistent and safe mixture of oxygen and fuel gas, resulting in a stable flame profile even under demanding conditions.
Mechanically, the nozzle is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. It features a robust brass coupling nut equipped with a built-in snap ring, facilitating a secure and durable connection to the torch handle. The interface utilizes a double O-ring seal mechanism, which provides a superior gas-tight seal compared to metal-to-metal connections, significantly reducing the risk of leaks and backfires. With a physical length of 17.5 inches, the 15-MFA is designed to keep the operator at a safe distance from the radiant heat of the workpiece, enhancing safety during prolonged use.
Compatibility is specific and critical for this component. The Size 15 MFA nozzle is designed for use with Victor HD 310C series torch handles. Operators must ensure they are using a 3/8-inch (9.5mm) hose to supply the necessary volume of gas required for a tip of this magnitude. A crucial operational parameter for the Size 15 tip is the acetylene withdrawal rate. Due to the high volume of gas consumption, users must adhere to the "1/7th rule," ensuring that the withdrawal rate does not exceed 1/7th of the cylinder's contents per hour. Failure to do so may require the use of an acetylene manifold system to supply sufficient volume safely.
This nozzle is not compatible with propane or natural gas; attempting to use these alternative fuels can result in flame instability and potential equipment damage. The MFA series represents Victor's commitment to quality in oxy-fuel equipment, providing reliable performance for heat treating, straightening, and priming tasks in fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair sectors.
