TurboTorch PL-8A Swirl Tip

The TurboTorch PL-8A is a self-igniting torch tip designed for air/acetylene applications. Its swirl flame pattern suits soft soldering and silver brazing tasks. The trigger-start ignition allows instant lighting without a separate striker. It connects via a quick-connect fitting for fast tool changes.

Quick-Connect Fitting For G-4 And PLF-A5

The tip snaps onto compatible TurboTorch handles such as the G-4 and PLF-A5 series. No threading or tools are required to attach or remove the tip. This quick-connect interface frees up bench time during repetitive joint work. It also reduces wear on the handle coupling compared with screw-on tips.

Handles 1 To 2 Inch Soft Solder

The tip comfortably handles soft solder joints from 1 inch up to 2 inches. For silver brazing it covers a range of half an inch to 1 inch. Fuel flows at .21 cmh at a pressure rating of 14 psig. Larger diameter pipe or heavier brazing alloys fall outside its rated capacity.
