0386-1378 - TurboTorch BG-NPK Nitrogen Purge Blow Gun 0386-1378

Precision Nitrogen Control for Professional HVAC Brazing

The TurboTorch 0386-1378 BG-NPK Blow Gun is a critical component for any professional HVAC/R technician's nitrogen purge kit. Designed to work seamlessly with TurboTorch nitrogen purging systems, this blow gun provides the manual control necessary to effectively displace oxygen from copper lines during the brazing process. By introducing a steady, low-pressure stream of nitrogen into the piping system, technicians can prevent the formation of copper oxides (scale) on the interior walls of the tubing. This scale, if allowed to form, can later flake off and cause severe blockages in sensitive system components like expansion valves and filter driers, leading to system failure and costly callbacks.

Constructed with the durability expected from the TurboTorch brand, the BG-NPK features a robust body capable of withstanding the rigors of daily field use. The ergonomic thumb lever allows for precise feathering of the gas flow, enabling the user to maintain a gentle purge that protects the pipe without building up excessive pressure that could blow out molten braze alloy. Whether you are installing a new mini-split system, repairing a commercial refrigeration unit, or running line sets for a central air conditioner, this blow gun is the interface between your nitrogen regulator and the work piece, ensuring that your brazing environment remains inert and clean.

This accessory is specifically engineered to integrate with TurboTorch Nitrogen Purge Kits, ensuring compatibility and leak-free performance. It is lightweight yet sturdy, making it an easy addition to any tool bag. Proper nitrogen purging is not just a best practice; it is often a manufacturer requirement for warranty compliance on modern HVAC equipment. The TurboTorch BG-NPK Blow Gun makes adhering to these standards simple and efficient, providing the control you need to deliver a contaminant-free refrigeration circuit every time.
