Uniweld TYPE7928E-6 Oxy-Acetylene Heating Tip #6 Elbow

Get the Heat Where You Need It

When you are wrestling with bent frames, prepping a thick pipe for welding, or trying to free a seized assembly, you need heat—and lots of it. The Uniweld TYPE7928E-6 Heating Head is your go-to solution for heavy-duty heating applications. Known in the trade as a "rosebud," this multi-flame tip is designed to dump a massive amount of BTUs into your workpiece quickly and efficiently. It is built strictly for Oxy-Acetylene setups, giving you that intense, focused heat that only acetylene can provide, making it perfect for flame straightening and bending operations where precision and speed matter.

One of the standout features of this model is its elbow shape. If you have ever tried to heat a component located in a tight spot or at an awkward angle with a straight tip, you know the struggle. The angled design of the TYPE7928E-6 saves your wrists and lets you position the flame exactly where it needs to be without contorting your body or the torch handle. It fits right onto your standard heavy-duty 43 Series handle (like the 43L9), but remember, you need the right mixer (UM43 or WH79) to run it safely. Don't try to thread this directly onto a handle without the mixer—it's all about keeping that gas flow smooth and safe.

Durability is standard with Uniweld gear. This tip is made from solid copper, designed to withstand the reflected heat from your work without melting down or deforming. Whether you are preheating a casting to prevent cracking or expanding a part for a shrink-fit, the #6 size gives you a versatile heat range that covers most general fabrication needs. It is a workhorse tool that belongs in every serious fabricator's torch kit.

Safety is paramount when running big heating tips. Because this is a #6 size, make sure your acetylene tank is large enough to handle the draw. Starving a rosebud is the quickest way to pop it or cause a flashback. Treat it right, keep the orifices clean, and the Uniweld TYPE7928E-6 will serve you through years of tough jobs, helping you bend steel to your will—literally.
