Victor Type 55 Multi-Flame Heating Nozzle, Size 6, Alt Fuel

Heavy-Duty Heating Power with Victor Type 55

When your job calls for serious heat, the Victor Professional 55 Series Multi-Flame Head delivers the performance you need to get the metal moving. This Size 6 heating tip is built for the welder or fabricator who relies on alternative fuels like Propane or Natural Gas to tackle big jobs. Whether you are straightening a bent I-beam, pre-heating a thick casting before welding, or priming a surface for treatment, this "rosebud" style head pumps out the BTUs required to soak heat deep into the workpiece quickly and efficiently.

One of the biggest frustrations in heavy heating is damaging your tip or losing your flame when you get too close to the work. Victor has solved this with a smart, practical design feature: a raised center point on the face of the nozzle. This simple but effective ridge acts as a bumper, stopping the flat face of the tip from hitting the plate. This means you can work close to the metal without snuffing out your flame or damaging the precision-drilled orifices. It’s a design that understands the reality of rough industrial environments.

Safety is also front and center with the Type 55 Series. Heating with alternative fuels requires high flow rates, which can sometimes lead to instability. This nozzle features an improved mixer design that significantly reduces the risk of backfire, keeping you safe and your equipment running smoothly. It is designed to stand up to the reflected heat of long heating cycles without popping or sputtering.

Important Setup Notes: This head is a beast and needs the right equipment to feed it. It must be paired with a Victor HD 310C heavy-duty torch handle and a 3/8-inch gas hose. Do not try to run this on standard light-duty gear or with Acetylene—it is purpose-built for alternative fuels to give you the most cost-effective and powerful heating solution available. Equip your torch with the Victor 0311-0240 and experience the difference that professional-grade engineering makes on your toughest heating projects.
