Victor 8-MFN-1 Propane/Natural Gas Heating Nozzle for 100 Series Handles

Heavy-Duty Heating with the Victor 0324-0118 MFN-1 Nozzle

Maximize your heating efficiency with the Victor 8-MFN-1 Heating Nozzle, part number 0324-0118. This specialized multi-flame head is engineered to provide a broad, consistent heat zone, making it the tool of choice for metalworkers engaged in bending, straightening, and pre-heating operations. Unlike single-point welding tips, the MFN-1 series utilizes a cluster of flame ports to deliver a soft yet powerful soak heat, preventing localized overheating while ensuring the workpiece reaches the required temperature rapidly.

The 8-MFN-1 is optimized for Propane and Natural Gas, allowing shops to leverage these economical fuel sources for heating applications where Acetylene's high temperature is unnecessary and its cost is prohibitive. This nozzle is sized specifically for medium-duty torch handles, such as the Victor 100FC series. It is crucial to match this nozzle with the correct handle to ensure proper gas flow and safety. The Size 8 configuration offers a substantial heat output, rated at roughly 87,000 BTU/hr when running on Propane, providing the thermal energy needed for working with medium-to-heavy gauge metals.

Durability is a hallmark of the Victor brand, and the 0324-0118 is no exception. It features a robust construction designed to resist the rigors of daily industrial use. The 12-inch length helps keep the operator's hands away from the radiant heat of the workpiece. Common applications include removing seized bearings, pre-heating castings to prevent cracking during welding, and correcting structural deformations. By incorporating this nozzle into your oxy-fuel kit, you expand your torch's versatility beyond cutting and welding into powerful thermal processing.

Applications

• Metal Straightening: Apply broad heat to correct warped beams or plates.
• Pre-heating: Prepare materials for welding to reduce thermal shock.
• Heat Treating: Controlled heating for annealing or tempering processes.
• Parts Removal: Expand metal to loosen rusted nuts, bolts, or bearings.
