OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done with the Uniweld TYPE79E-3

When you are in the field or on the shop floor, you need equipment that fits right and works every time. The Uniweld TYPE79E-3 is your go-to replacement tip for Harris-style setups using the UM43 mixer. If you are tired of fighting with tips that don't seat correctly or produce a sputtering flame, this #3 elbow tip is the solution. It is built by Uniweld, a brand known for quality control and reliability, so you know you are getting a tool that can handle the heat.

The #3 size is a real workhorse in the industry. It is not too big for delicate work, but it packs enough heat to handle thicker wall tubing and general fabrication tasks. Whether you are sweating copper pipes in a tight AC closet or brazing steel brackets on a bench, the flame control on this tip is top-notch. You get a clean, neutral flame that is easy to adjust, allowing you to focus on your puddle and capillary action rather than constantly tweaking your regulator settings.

One of the best features is the elbow design. Straight tips are fine for bench work, but in the real world, you are often welding around corners, behind brackets, or in overhead positions. The curve of the TYPE79E-3 lets you hook around obstacles and get the heat exactly where you need it without contorting your wrist into uncomfortable positions. This reduces fatigue and helps you make better welds and brazes.

Compatibility is key. This tip is designed to screw right onto your existing UM43 mixer. You don't need to buy a whole new torch handle or adapter kit. It is a direct fit replacement that performs as well as, if not better than, the original equipment. Keep a few of these in your toolbox so you are never caught without a fresh tip when your current one gets clogged or damaged. It is an affordable upgrade that pays for itself in frustration-free operation.

FAQ

The TYPE79E-3 is designed specifically to fit the Uniweld UM43 mixer.

Yes, it is a Harris-style tip. It fits handles that accept the UM43 mixer, which is compatible with 43-series style handles.

This is a #3 tip. The number indicates the orifice size, which dictates the volume of gas flow and heat output (BTU) for specific metal thicknesses.

No, this is a brazing, welding, and heating tip. It does not have the central oxygen jet required for cutting operations.

This tip is typically used with Oxy-Acetylene. Always check your mixer's specifications to ensure compatibility with alternate fuels.

The elbow design allows for better visibility and access to joints in tight or awkward spaces compared to a straight tip.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that matches the #3 orifice and gently work it in and out to remove carbon buildup.

The tip features a copper tube for heat dissipation and a brass base for durable threading into the mixer.
