0324-0117 - Victor 6-MFN-1 Propane Heating Nozzle for 100 Series Torches

Maximize Your Heating Efficiency

Take control of your preheating and straightening tasks with the Victor 6-MFN-1 Heating Nozzle (0324-0117). Known in the trade as a "rosebud," this multi-flame tip is designed to turn your 100FC series torch into a powerhouse of thermal energy. If you are moving away from acetylene for large heating jobs to save on gas costs or to utilize shop-piped natural gas, this is the nozzle you need. It is specifically engineered to optimize the combustion of Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene, giving you a clean, hot, and voluminous flame that soaks heat into the metal faster than standard welding tips ever could.

Optimized for Alternative Fuels

Many welders struggle to get the right heat output when switching fuel gases because they use tips designed for acetylene. The 6-MFN-1 solves this by featuring recessed flame ports and internal geometry specifically calculated for the flow rates and burn velocities of alternative fuels. With a propane output of nearly 50,000 BTUs per hour, this Size 6 nozzle allows you to bring heavy plate, castings, and structural members up to critical temperature quickly. This efficiency is crucial for applications like preheating prior to welding to prevent cracking, or for heating bent components to make them pliable for straightening.

Reach and Comfort

Working on large assemblies often means dealing with intense radiated heat. The 6-MFN-1 features a 12-inch overall length, which serves a dual purpose. First, it allows you to reach into tighter spaces or across wider workpieces without overextending. Second, and perhaps more importantly, it keeps your hands and the torch handle further away from the hot zone, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort during long heating cycles. The nozzle fits seamlessly onto your existing Victor 100 series handle, meaning you don't need to buy a completely new torch setup to upgrade your heating capabilities.

Safety and Best Practices

When using the 6-MFN-1, it is important to follow proper setup procedures for "rosebud" tips. Because these nozzles consume a significant volume of gas, ensure your regulator and hose setup can supply the necessary flow to prevent starving the tip, which can lead to overheating. Always verify that you are using the correct T-grade hoses if you are running propane. Remember, this specific nozzle is NOT for use with Acetylene. By using the right tool for the fuel, you ensure a safer work environment and a more consistent, controllable flame for all your heat treating, priming, and bending needs.
