Harris Style J-63-2 Acetylene Heating Tip Assembly

Get the Heat Where You Need It

When you are wrestling with a rusted bolt that won't budge or trying to bend a piece of flat bar into a perfect bracket, you need a heating tip that delivers. The J-63-2 Harris Style Heating Head is the tool you grab when you need focused, intense heat using your acetylene rig. This isn't one of those massive rosebuds that eats up a whole tank of gas in ten minutes; it's a Size 2 tip, which means it is perfect for general-purpose heating, brazing, and soldering. It gives you enough heat to turn steel cherry red quickly but keeps the flame controlled enough that you aren't melting everything in a three-foot radius.

This assembly is a one-piece unit—tube and tip combined—so you don't have to worry about losing parts or fiddling with extra threads. It screws right into your standard E-43 mixer. If you are running a Harris style torch handle, you likely already have the E-43 mixer, making this a plug-and-play upgrade for your kit. The copper tip stands up to the heat, and the seal is tight, so you don't have to worry about gas leaks at the handle. It works with Acetylene, which burns hotter than propane, giving you that quick, piercing heat needed for freeing seized parts or preheating cast iron before welding.

Every welder knows that the right tip makes the job easier. Trying to heat a thick piece of metal with a welding tip takes forever, and using a giant rosebud on a small part is overkill. The J-63-2 sits right in that sweet spot. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver in tight engine bays or under machinery, and reliable. Just check your O-rings, screw it into the mixer hand-tight, set your pressures, and light it up. Whether you are in the shop or out on a service truck, this heating head is a solid addition to your oxy-fuel arsenal.
