0311-0306 - Victor Size 3 MFN Propane Heating Nozzle

Get the Heat You Need with the Victor 3-TEMFN Propane Rosebud

If you are burning through tanks of acetylene just to heat up a piece of steel, it is time to switch your game up. The Victor 0311-0306 3-TEMFN Heating Tip is designed specifically for Propane and Natural Gas, letting you save the expensive acetylene for cutting and welding while using cheaper fuel for the heavy lifting of preheating. We all know the drill: you need to bend a thick piece of flat bar or preheat a casting before laying down a bead. A standard cutting tip just doesn't throw enough BTUs, and using the wrong rosebud can be dangerous. This Size 3 MFN tip is the sweet spot for most shop applications—big enough to put serious heat into the metal fast, but not so massive that it drains your tanks in five minutes.

The "rosebud" design features multiple flame ports that create a broad, soaking heat pattern. This is crucial when you are trying to heat a large area evenly rather than melting a single spot. Because it is built by Victor, you know the quality is there. The copper is heavy and durable, standing up to the reflected heat when you are working in tight corners or deep inside a heavy weldment. The internal gas mixing is tuned perfectly for alternative fuels, meaning you get a stable, roaring flame that doesn't pop or whistle constantly like cheap knock-offs. It fits your standard Victor heavy-duty torch handle, so swapping from your cutting attachment to this heating tip takes just seconds.

Using propane or natural gas for heating isn't just about saving money; it's also about safety and tank management. Acetylene has withdrawal rate limits—pull too much too fast with a big rosebud, and you risk drawing acetone out of the cylinder. Propane doesn't have that strict limitation, allowing this Size 3 tip to run full bore without starving the flame. Whether you are straightening a warped trailer frame, preheating a heavy anvil, or just trying to bust loose a rusted nut that's been stuck since the 90s, the Victor 3-TEMFN is the tool you want in your kit.

Why Welders Choose This Tip

• Cost Efficiency: Burns cheaper propane or natural gas instead of pricey acetylene.
• High Heat Output: Delivers a massive amount of BTUs for soaking heat into thick materials.
• Safety: Eliminates the risk of acetone withdrawal common with large acetylene tips.
• Durability: Solid copper construction withstands the abuse of daily shop life.
