When you need to put serious heat into a workpiece without burning through your acetylene budget, the Victor Type MFN-1 Heating Tip Size 8 is the tool you reach for. Designed specifically for use with Propane and Natural Gas (LP gases), this multi-flame "rosebud" style tip turns your standard Victor 100 Series torch handle into a powerful heating instrument. Whether you are preheating a heavy casting before welding, bending steel bar stock, or straightening a warped frame, this tip delivers the BTUs you need with the efficiency and control you expect from Victor equipment.
One of the standout features of this model (0311-0612) is its 12-inch length. In the shop, reach matters. The extra length allows you to get the flame exactly where it needs to be—deep into a corner or across a wide flange—while keeping your hands and the torch handle further away from the radiant heat. This means you can work longer and more comfortably without overheating your gloves or equipment. The multi-flame head design spreads the heat out over a larger surface area compared to a cutting tip or welding nozzle, ensuring a soak-through heat that is essential for proper preheating and stress relieving.
Switching to LP gas for heating is a smart move for many welders, as propane is often cheaper and more readily available than acetylene. However, standard acetylene tips won't perform well with alternate fuels. The MFN-1 is engineered with the correct internal geometry to stabilize the propane flame, preventing the flame from blowing off the tip or popping back. This ensures a consistent, hot flame that gets the job done quickly. If you own a Victor 100 Series handle, adding the MFN-1 Size 8 to your kit expands your capabilities significantly, allowing you to tackle heavy heating jobs that a standard welding tip simply can't handle.
