OVERVIEW

Maximize Heat Output with Victor Type 55

When your project demands serious heat, the Victor Type 55 Size 20 Heating Head (0311-0232) is the tool you reach for. Designed for the professional welder and fabricator, this multi-flame "rosebud" style tip turns your heavy-duty torch handle into a powerhouse of thermal energy. It is specifically engineered to burn Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene, allowing you to take advantage of these economical and high-BTU fuels for large-scale heating tasks.

The Size 20 head is a beast, capable of generating the broad, soaking heat required for bending thick steel plates, straightening warped beams, and preheating heavy castings before welding. Unlike acetylene tips which can be unstable at high flow rates required for large heating heads, this nozzle thrives on alternative fuels, providing a safe and consistent flame profile. It features a one-piece design that simplifies maintenance and ensures rugged durability in the shop or field.

Key Operational Requirements:

  • Handle Compatibility: Fits Victor HD 310C and similar 300 Series heavy-duty handles.
  • Gas Supply: Requires sufficient volume; ensure your regulator and cylinder setup can supply the necessary CFH.
  • Hose Size: A 3/8" hose is mandatory to supply the volume of gas needed for a stable flame.
  • Safety: Strictly for use with alternate fuels. Do NOT use with Acetylene.

The Victor 0311-0232 offers versatility through its threaded elbow design, which allows for easy service. For welders facing jobs that require bringing large metal masses up to temperature quickly, this heating nozzle reduces wait times and increases productivity. It represents the quality and reliability that the industry has come to expect from the Victor brand, ensuring that your equipment performs when it matters most.
