OVERVIEW

Reliable Self-Lighting for HVAC and Plumbing

For plumbers and HVAC technicians working in the field, the TurboTorch PL-12A Extreme Self-Lighting Tip is a game-changer. Forget about fumbling for a striker while balancing on a ladder or squeezing into a crawl space. This tip features a built-in piezo ignition system that lights the flame instantly with the push of a button. The PL-12A is built to withstand the rigors of daily job site use, providing a reliable flame every time you need it. Whether you are repairing a residential water line or installing commercial refrigeration piping, the convenience of self-ignition speeds up your workflow and reduces frustration.

Maximum Heat, Minimum Effort

The PL-12A isn't just about convenience; it's about performance. Thanks to Swirl Combustion Technology, this tip delivers a hot, stable flame that wraps around copper tubing for even heat distribution. This means you can solder up to 3-inch copper pipe or braze up to 1-5/8 inch lines quickly and efficiently. The intense heat ensures proper solder flow and strong, leak-free joints, even in drafty conditions. The 3/8-inch tip size strikes the perfect balance between power and precision, giving you enough heat for larger pipes without overheating sensitive components nearby.

Built to Last and Easy to Maintain

TurboTorch understands that tools need to last. The PL-12A is constructed with durability in mind, featuring a rugged design that holds up to drops and knocks. One of the standout features is the easily replaceable orifice and tip end. If your tip starts acting up due to a clog, you can simply remove the orifice screw to clean it or replace the part entirely, saving you the cost of buying a whole new tip. The red O-ring clearly marks this tip for Acetylene use, helping you stay safe and organized. Compatible with standard G-4 and PLF-A5 handles, this tip is an essential upgrade for your existing TurboTorch kit.
