OVERVIEW

Stop Struggling with Cold Spots

If you have ever struggled to get solder to flow on the back side of a pipe against a wall, the Uniweld MTFM-5 Cap'n Hook is the tool you've been waiting for. This isn't just another brazing tip; it's a time-saver designed to make your life easier on the job site. With its unique five-flame design, the Cap'n Hook wraps the fire all the way around the copper tube, giving you instant, even heat distribution without having to constantly rotate your wrist or the torch.

Perfect for HVAC installs and repairs, the MTFM-5 lets you braze 1/2" to 1" copper lines with confidence. The 100% heat wrap means you get the joint up to temperature faster, allowing the silver solder or brazing rod to flow perfectly into the fitting every time. No more guessing if the back of the joint is hot enough—the Cap'n Hook ensures it is. It connects easily to your standard Uniweld 71 or WH550 handles and runs on Oxy-Acetylene, giving you the intense heat you need for professional results.

Whether you are working in a cramped AC closet or up on a roof, the 40-degree angle and compact head help you reach tight spots that standard tips can't touch. Say goodbye to leaks caused by uneven heating and hello to faster, cleaner, and more reliable brazing.
