0386-1001 - TurboTorch OR-A3 Replacement Orifice for A-3 and T-4 Tips

Don't Toss That Tip—Fix It

If your trusty TurboTorch A-3 or T-4 tip is starting to sputter, act up, or give you a lopsided flame, don't throw it in the scrap bin just yet. The problem is likely just a worn-out or clogged orifice. The TurboTorch OR-A3 Replaceable Orifice (0386-1001) is the quick, affordable fix that gets your torch back in the game. We know that out in the field, your torch is your livelihood. When you are trying to sweat copper in a tight crawlspace or braze a line set on a roof, you need a flame that is hot, stable, and wraps the pipe perfectly. This little brass component is the heart of that performance, controlling the gas flow to create that signature TurboTorch swirl.

Designed specifically for Air Acetylene setups, this orifice fits perfectly into your existing A-3 and T-4 tips. It is the exact same part that came with the tip when it was new, so you aren't guessing with generic fits that might leak or backfire. Swapping it out is simple: just disassemble the tip, unscrew the old orifice, and screw this fresh one in. In less than two minutes, you have turned a "broken" tip into one that runs like new. It is a smart way to save money and keep your gear running top-notch without carrying around a truckload of spare tips.

Why does the orifice matter so much? It's all about the mixture. If the hole gets dinged, widened by cleaning tools, or clogged with soot, your gas velocity drops. That means less heat transfer and longer work times. By keeping a spare OR-A3 in your toolbox, you ensure that you are always ready to tackle plumbing and HVAC jobs with maximum efficiency. Stop fighting a bad flame and start working smarter. This replacement part is built tough to handle the heat and keep you soldering and brazing smoothly, job after job.
