OVERVIEW

TurboTorch PL-3A Extreme Air/Acetylene Tip (0386-0874)

Upgrade your soldering and brazing capabilities with the TurboTorch PL-3A Extreme Self-Lighting Replacement Tip. As part of the renowned Extreme series, this tip brings advanced flame technology to your fingertips, allowing for faster work and professional results. The PL-3A is designed to work seamlessly with Air/Acetylene fuel, utilizing Swirl Combustion Technology to produce a hot, stable, and energy-efficient flame. By swirling the fuel gas and air mixture at high velocities, the tip generates a flame that hugs the pipe, ensuring rapid heat penetration and reducing the time it takes to bring copper tubing to the correct working temperature.

Convenience is built into every aspect of the PL-3A. The integrated self-lighting trigger means you can ignite the torch with a single click, eliminating the hassle of fumbling for a spark lighter in tight or awkward spaces. This
