Victor 8-MFA-1 Rosebud Heating Tip for 100 Series Handles

Victor 0324-0111 8-MFA-1 Rosebud Heating Tip

Maximize your oxy-acetylene capabilities with the Victor 0324-0111 8-MFA-1 Heating Nozzle. Designed as a high-performance accessory for the popular Victor 100 Series torch handles, this multi-flame heating head is the tool of choice for fabricators needing to apply large amounts of heat quickly and evenly. The "rosebud" configuration utilizes multiple flame ports to produce a soft, soaking heat that is ideal for a variety of metallurgical processes, including bending, straightening, and shrinking steel.

The 8-MFA-1 is strictly for use with Acetylene or Hydrogen gas. It delivers a substantial heat output rated at approximately 117,600 BTU per hour. This level of thermal energy is perfect for preheating heavy plate prior to welding, ensuring proper penetration and reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in the heat-affected zone. It is also widely used for flame straightening distorted structural members or heating parts for hot forming. The nozzle's 12-inch length allows access to hard-to-reach areas while keeping the torch handle and the operator's hand at a cooler, safer distance from the work surface.

Operational Requirements

Because of its high flow rate, the Size 8 MFA-1 tip demands a robust gas supply. Users must be aware of acetylene withdrawal limits. A single standard acetylene cylinder may not provide sufficient flow to sustain the flame without drawing liquid acetone into the regulator and torch. Therefore, manifolding cylinders is often essential for safe operation. Consult your gas supplier or the Victor technical data to ensure your setup meets the necessary SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour) requirements for this specific nozzle size.

Constructed with Victor's legendary attention to quality, the nozzle features a brass coupling nut and a copper tip end for superior heat dissipation and resistance to flashback. The double O-ring seal ensures a gas-tight fit within the torch handle, preventing leaks and maintaining consistent flame characteristics. If your shop handles medium-duty fabrication or repair work involving heating and bending, the Victor 8-MFA-1 is a reliable, high-output solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing 100 Series equipment.
