0386-0113 - TurboTorch S-4 Sof-Flame Air Acetylene Tip for WA-400 Handles

TurboTorch 0386-0113 S-4 Air Acetylene Tip Overview

Maximize the efficiency of your air acetylene torch setup with the TurboTorch S-4 Sof-Flame Replacement Tip (0386-0113). Designed for use with the WA-400 torch handle, this tip is a staple for soft soldering applications involving copper tubing. With a capacity range of 1/2 inch to 1 inch for soft solder, the S-4 is perfectly sized for standard water supply lines and drainage pipes, making it a go-to accessory for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals.

The S-4 tip utilizes TurboTorch's proven Sof-Flame technology. Unlike high-velocity swirl tips that drive heat deep into the metal rapidly, the Sof-Flame produces a buoyant, passive flame that is excellent for heating joints evenly without scorching. This characteristic is crucial when working with sensitive materials or when a more deliberate heating pace is required to ensure proper capillary action of the solder. The tip assembly includes a color-coded O-ring for easy identification and sealing, and the main body is machined from high-quality solid brass.

Maintenance is straightforward with the S-4. The tip utilizes a replaceable orifice, part number OR-A5 (0386-1002). If the flame pattern becomes irregular due to carbon buildup or debris, the orifice can be easily swapped out, restoring the tip to factory specifications without the need to purchase an entire new assembly. This modularity helps reduce long-term tool costs. By integrating the S-4 into your workflow, you ensure that you have the right tool for standard soldering tasks, backed by the reliability of the TurboTorch brand.
