OVERVIEW

Reliable Heating for Professional Plumbers and HVAC Techs

When you are in the middle of a complex install or a critical repair, the last thing you need is a sputtering or inconsistent torch flame. The Turbotorch 3-TEMFA Torch Tip (Part # 0311-0217) is built to keep you working smoothly, delivering the reliable heat you need for soldering and brazing copper pipes and fittings. Whether you are sweating a simple joint or working on a larger HVAC line, having a fresh, high-quality tip on your torch makes all the difference in how quickly and cleanly you can finish the job.

This specific tip is designed with a compact 1-1/4 inch length, which is a huge advantage when you are working in tight quarters—like inside a vanity cabinet, between joists, or behind a furnace. The shorter profile gives you better control over the flame direction, helping you apply heat exactly where it is needed without scorching surrounding materials. The 5/16"-27 thread ensures a quick and secure attachment to your torch handle, so you can swap out tips easily if you need to change sizes or replace a worn-out component on the fly. No stripped threads, no wobbling—just a solid connection that lets you focus on the flame.

The "Size 3" designation means this tip is tuned for a specific heat range, making it ideal for standard plumbing tasks where you need a balance of heat intensity and control. It provides a clean, hot flame that brings copper up to temperature rapidly, ensuring your solder flows smoothly and penetrates deep into the fitting cup. Using a genuine Turbotorch tip like the 3-TEMFA ensures that you are getting the performance the manufacturer intended, with a flame pattern that wraps effectively around the workpiece.

Durability is key for tools that ride around in a truck and get used daily. This tip is constructed to handle the abuse of the job site, resisting damage from drops and the high heat of continuous use. If you have noticed your current torch taking longer to heat up pipes or producing an uneven flame, it might be time to retire the old tip. Upgrading to a new 0311-0217 3-TEMFA tip is a cost-effective way to restore your torch's performance to like-new condition, saving you time and frustration on every joint you solder. Keep a spare in your kit so you are never caught without the right tool for the job.
