OVERVIEW

Master the Elements with the Uniweld A-5 Twister Tip

When you are up on a rooftop or in a drafty basement, the last thing you need is a flame that flickers and dies. The Uniweld A-5 Twister® Tip is built to keep you working when the wind picks up. Thanks to its advanced helical blade technology, this tip produces a ferocious, high-energy swirl flame that stays lit and hot, cutting down your job time significantly. The flame doesn't just shoot out; it swirls and wraps around the copper tubing, delivering heat to the back side of the pipe just as effectively as the front. This means faster joints, better flow of your brazing alloy, and less gas wasted.

Designed for the professional plumber and HVAC technician, the A-5 is the perfect "middle-weight" contender for your torch kit. It handles soft soldering on pipes up to 1-1/2 inches and silver brazing on lines up to 3/4 inch, covering the vast majority of residential AC and refrigeration lines you encounter daily. The Quick Connect feature is a game-changer for efficiency—snap it into your existing Uniweld or compatible TurboTorch® handle, give it a twist, and you are ready to ignite. No threading, no wrenching, just a secure seal in seconds.

Durability is key when you are hauling gear from job to job. The Uniweld A-5 is crafted to withstand the heat and the knocks of daily use. The stainless steel burn tube resists bending and corrosion, while the easy-to-clean orifice ensures that a little bit of dirt doesn't put you out of commission. Whether you are installing a new condenser or fixing a leak, the A-5 Twister Tip gives you the control and power you need to produce leak-free, professional-grade joints every single time.
