OVERVIEW

Turn Up the Heat with the Uniweld VH5 Rosebud

When you have a piece of steel that just won't budge, or a thick plate that needs to be brought up to temp before you lay a bead, the Uniweld VH5 Heating Head is your go-to solution. This isn't your average welding tip; this is a heavy-duty "rosebud" designed to dump massive amounts of heat into your workpiece fast. Built to run on Propane or Natural Gas, the VH5 lets you save your expensive Acetylene for cutting and welding while using cheaper fuel gases for the heavy lifting of heating.

The VH5 is a #5 size tip, which means it packs a serious punch. It features a multi-flame design that spreads the heat out over a wider area, ensuring an even soak rather than a hot spot. This is perfect for straightening bent frames, preheating castings to prevent cracking, or bending thick bar stock like it’s butter. The copper construction is tough enough to handle the rigors of a busy shop, and the threaded connection is designed to fit the Uniweld VHE-10 elbow, making it compatible with most Victor-style heavy-duty handles you likely already have in your toolbox.

Why choose the VH5? It comes down to efficiency and power. Trying to heat a large assembly with a cutting torch or a single-flame welding tip takes forever and wastes gas. The VH5's rosebud design maximizes your flame surface area, getting the job done in a fraction of the time. Whether you are in an automotive repair shop, a structural steel yard, or a farm repair facility, having a dedicated heating head like the VH5 means you are ready for whatever thermal challenges come your way. Just screw it onto your VHE-10 elbow, light it up, and watch the metal glow.

Built for the Grind

Uniweld knows that tools get dropped, banged, and abused. That's why the VH5 is built with a recessed tip end to protect the gas ports. You get a reliable flame pattern every time, without constant cleaning or filing. Stop wasting time with undersized tips and upgrade your heating game with the Uniweld VH5.

INCLUDED

  • (1) VH5 Heating Head

APPLICATIONS

  • Preheating: Raising the temperature of thick steel plates and castings prior to welding to prevent cracking and ensure proper fusion.
  • Metal Straightening: Applying localized heat to warped or bent structural members to relax the metal for straightening.
  • Bending and Forming: Heating bar stock, pipe, or flat bar to make manual or mechanical bending easier.
  • Brazing: Providing the broad, even heat source required for heavy-duty brazing operations on large copper or brass assemblies.
  • Rust Removal: Rapidly heating seized nuts and bolts to break rust bonds through thermal expansion.

FAQ

The Uniweld VH5 is designed for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It should not be used with Acetylene.

No, using a propane-specific heating head like the VH5 with Acetylene can be dangerous and cause unstable flames or flashbacks. Always use the fuel specified for the tip.

The VH5 threads onto a Uniweld VHE-10 heating elbow (or equivalent Victor-style heating elbow/mixer). It does not screw directly into a torch handle.

A rosebud, or multi-flame tip, provides a large, soft flame that heats a wide area quickly and evenly, which is much more efficient for heating metal than a cutting tip.

Yes, the VH5 is a Victor-style component and is compatible with Victor-style heating elbows and handles.

Yes, you typically need a heating elbow (like the VHE-10) which acts as the mixer and extension for the heating head.

This is a size #5 heating head, which indicates its flow rate and heat output capacity relative to other tips in the series.

No, this is a heating head only. It does not have a central oxygen jet required for the cutting process.
