TurboTorch A-5 Extreme Air Acetylene Swirl Tip

Reliable Soldering for HVAC and Plumbing Pros

When you are out in the field, you need a torch tip that lights easily, heats fast, and stands up to daily abuse. The TurboTorch A-5 Extreme Standard Replacement Tip (0386-0102) is the go-to choice for contractors who demand reliability and performance. Whether you are installing a new water heater, repairing a refrigeration line, or running copper piping for a renovation, the A-5 delivers the consistent heat you need to get the job done right. Its air-acetylene design means you don't need to lug around a heavy oxygen cylinder—simply connect it to your B-tank or MC-tank setup using a G-4 or PLF-A5 handle, and you are ready to work.

The secret to the A-5's performance is the Swirl Combustion Technology. Unlike lazy flames that waste heat, the A-5 produces a concentrated, wrapping flame that heats the copper tubing from all sides. This allows you to flow solder and braze alloy quickly and evenly, reducing the chance of cold joints or leaks. With the ability to soft solder up to 1-1/2 inches and silver braze up to 3/4 inch, this single tip can handle a significant portion of your daily service calls. It strikes the perfect balance between the smaller A-2 tips and the larger industrial tips, making it a versatile "workhorse" for your tool bag.

Durability is built into every inch of this tip. The rugged construction resists damage from drops and knocks, while the removable orifice screw ensures that a simple clog doesn't turn into a costly replacement. The tip also features a red color-coded O-ring, giving you peace of mind that you have the right equipment for your acetylene setup. If you are looking to expand the range of your current torch kit or simply need a reliable replacement for a worn-out nozzle, the TurboTorch A-5 is an investment in efficiency that pays for itself in time saved on every joint.
