Victor Type 55 Size 8 Multi-Flame Heating Head for Alternative Fuels

Heavy-Duty Heating Power with Victor Type 55

When your job requires serious heat for bending, straightening, or preheating thick steel, the Victor Type 55 Size 8 Multi-Flame Heating Nozzle is the tool you need. Designed for professional welders and fabricators, this "rosebud" style tip is built to deliver massive amounts of heat quickly and efficiently using alternative fuels like Propane and Natural Gas. Say goodbye to the limitations of smaller tips; the Size 8 head pumps out over 200,000 BTUs, allowing you to bring large workpieces up to temperature in record time.

One of the standout features of this nozzle is its durability in rough shop environments. We all know that tips can get banged up during heavy use. Victor has engineered this head with a raised center point that acts as a bumper. If you accidentally tap the plate while working, the raised center takes the impact, protecting the actual flame holes from getting smashed or clogged. This simple design choice extends the life of your equipment and keeps your flame shape consistent, job after job.

Safety is also a major priority with the Type 55 series. The improved mixer design inside the nozzle resists backfire, keeping you safer when running high flows. At 11 inches long, the nozzle also keeps your hands and torch handle further away from the intense radiant heat of the work zone. Whether you are straightening a bent I-beam, preheating a casting before welding, or heat-treating a finished part, this nozzle gives you the control and power required for industrial fabrication.

This nozzle fits standard Victor 300 Series heavy-duty torch handles, making it a versatile addition to your existing oxy-fuel kit. Just remember: this tip is designed for alternative fuels only—do not use it with Acetylene. If you are running Propane or Natural Gas in your shop, this is the high-capacity heating solution that will help you get the job done faster.
