OVERVIEW

Efficient Heating with the MFA-1 Size 6 Nozzle

The Victor Style MFA-1 Size 6 Heating Nozzle is an essential tool for metalworkers and fabricators requiring reliable heat application. Designed specifically for oxy-acetylene gas systems, this multi-flame "rosebud" tip delivers a concentrated yet broad heat output, making it perfect for a variety of industrial tasks. Whether you are preheating steel before welding, straightening bent structural members, or applying heat for brazing applications, this nozzle provides the thermal efficiency needed to get the job done quickly.

Medium-Duty Compatibility

This nozzle is engineered to fit Victor 100 Series torch handles, which are the industry standard for medium-duty oxy-fuel equipment. The precise machining of the connection point ensures a tight, leak-free seal, promoting safety and consistent flame stability. Users with existing medium-duty outfits can easily swap out their cutting or welding tips for this heating head to expand the versatility of their torch setup. The size 6 orifice offers a balanced heat output that is substantial enough for most general fabrication needs without being as demanding on gas supply as larger heavy-duty tips.

Durable Construction and Performance

Constructed from high-quality copper, the MFA-1 Size 6 nozzle is built to withstand the intense temperatures generated during operation. The multi-flame design features a cluster of flame ports that work in unison to heat a larger surface area faster than a single-point welding tip. This is particularly advantageous when working on thicker plates or pipe sections where maintaining interpass temperature is critical. By using acetylene as the fuel gas, this tip achieves high flame temperatures, allowing for rapid heat transfer and reduced working time.

Safety and Usage

When using the MFA-1 Size 6 heating tip, it is crucial to ensure your acetylene cylinder has sufficient capacity to match the withdrawal rate required by the tip. "Rosebud" tips consume a significant volume of gas, and exceeding the recommended withdrawal rate of your cylinder can be dangerous. Always consult gas usage charts and ensure your regulators are set to the appropriate pressures for a size 6 tip. This product is a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to OEM parts, delivering professional results for maintenance, repair, and fabrication workshops.

FAQ

This tip is designed to fit Victor 100 Series torch handles and compatible medium-duty handles from other manufacturers that use the Victor style connection.

No, the MFA-1 series is designed specifically for Oxy-Acetylene. For propane or natural gas, you would need an MFN series tip.

A 'rosebud' tip is a multi-flame heating nozzle. It has multiple orifices at the end to produce a large, soft flame for heating wide areas quickly, rather than a single sharp point for welding.

Typical settings for a size 6 MFA-1 are Oxygen: 8-12 PSI and Acetylene: 6-10 PSI. Always consult the specific chart for your torch handle and regulator setup.

No, this is a medium-duty tip (Size 6) designed for 100 series handles. Heavy-duty tips (like the MFA-J series) fit larger 300 series handles.

You should use a standard tip cleaner set. Find the wire size that fits the small orifices of the multi-flame head and gently clean out any carbon or debris.

Heating tips consume a lot of gas. You must ensure your acetylene cylinder is large enough to supply the required volume without exceeding the 1/7th (or 1/10th) withdrawal rule to prevent drawing acetone into the regulator.
