OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Air Acetylene Torch Kit

The Victor TurboTorch X-3B Extreme Torch Kit (0386-0335) represents the industry standard for HVAC and plumbing contractors requiring reliable, high-performance brazing and soldering solutions. Engineered with TurboTorch's proprietary Extreme Swirl Technology, this kit delivers a high-heat transfer flame that wraps around copper tubing, ensuring even heat distribution and significantly faster work times compared to conventional torches. This technology allows for brazing without the need for an oxygen tank, simplifying transport and setup for service technicians.

Designed for versatility and efficiency, the X-3B kit is specifically configured for use with "B" style acetylene tanks (CGA 520 connection). It includes the ergonomic G-4 handle with a rear-positioned valve for precise flame control and the AR-B regulator for consistent gas flow. The kit comes complete with two essential tips: the A-3 tip for smaller diameter work and the A-11 tip for larger applications. This combination allows operators to soft solder copper pipe up to 3 inches (75mm) and silver braze up to 1-5/8 inches (40mm), covering the vast majority of residential and light commercial refrigeration tasks.

Safety and convenience are paramount in the X-3B design. The system features quick-disconnect couplings that allow users to switch tips in seconds without tools. Furthermore, the color-coded O-ring system (red for acetylene) prevents dangerous cross-connection errors with other fuel gases. The included 12-foot AH-12 hose provides ample reach for working in attics, crawl spaces, or rooftop units. Whether you are performing new installations or routine maintenance, the TurboTorch X-3B offers the durability and performance required by professional tradesmen.

FAQ

The X-3B kit includes an AR-B regulator with a CGA 520 connection, designed specifically for Acetylene "B" tanks (40 cu ft).

No, this is an air-acetylene system. It uses atmospheric air mixed with acetylene, so no oxygen cylinder is required.

With the included tips, you can silver braze copper tubing up to 1-5/8 inches (40mm) in diameter.

Yes, the G-4 handle features quick-disconnect couplings, allowing you to easily swap between the included A-3 and A-11 tips or other compatible A-series tips.

The kit comes with an AH-12 hose, which is 12 feet long.

No, this specific kit and its regulator are designed for Acetylene only. Propane requires different tips and regulators.

Swirl Combustion Technology creates a high-velocity, swirling flame that wraps around the pipe, providing better heat transfer and faster soldering or brazing compared to standard flames.

Yes, the kit typically includes a cylinder wrench/key for opening the B-tank valve.
