Victor 6-RTEN Propane Brazing Nozzle Assembly

Practical Performance: Victor 6-RTEN for Propane & Natural Gas

For welders and fabricators looking to maximize efficiency in brazing and preheating tasks, the Victor Size 6-RTEN Welding Nozzle is a workhorse accessory for your 300 Series torch handle. Designed to run on Propane or Natural Gas, this nozzle allows you to take advantage of these economical and readily available fuels without sacrificing flame quality. The "RTEN" designation stands for Replacement Tip End Nozzle, meaning this assembly is built to be versatile and serviceable, utilizing TEN tip ends that deliver a consistent long cone flame. This flame profile is particularly excellent for visibility, allowing you to see exactly where you are applying heat, which is critical when brazing delicate joints or preheating structural steel.

The standout feature for the daily user is the "wrench-free" connection. Thanks to a double O-ring design, you can seat this nozzle into your torch handle and tighten it by hand. It creates a perfect, leak-free seal every time without you having to reach for a wrench. This is a massive time-saver when you are in the middle of a project and need to switch between cutting attachments and heating nozzles quickly. It also saves wear and tear on your torch threads, as you eliminate the risk of stripping them with a wrench. The assembly feels solid in the hand, featuring a heavy-duty brass coupling nut that includes a snap ring to keep the cone end protected when the nozzle isn't on the torch.

Whether you are working in general fabrication, performing repair and maintenance, or handling light structural steel jobs, the 6-RTEN delivers reliable heat. The internal spiral mixer is designed to handle the specific flow characteristics of propane and natural gas, preventing the flame instability that can occur with mismatched equipment. This means less popping, less adjustment time, and more time focused on the work. It is an ideal solution for shops that have moved away from acetylene for heating applications or for field trucks equipped with propane. With Victor's reputation for quality—backed by 100% flame testing—you can trust this nozzle to perform right out of the package.

Applications include:

• General purpose brazing on steel and other metals.
• Preheating heavy plate prior to welding to prevent cracking.
• Heat treating and metal bending.
• Maintenance and repair work in industrial settings.
