0311-0600 - Victor Type MFA-1 Heating Tip Assembly, Size 6, For 100 Series Handles

Technical Overview of the Victor 0311-0600 MFA-1 Assembly

The Victor 0311-0600 is a Type MFA-1 Heating Tip Assembly, specifically calibrated as a Size 6 unit. This component is engineered to function as an integral part of the oxy-fuel heating system, designed exclusively for compatibility with Victor 100 Series Torch Handles. The assembly features a multi-flame heating head, often referred to in the industry as a "rosebud," which is critical for applications requiring the distribution of high thermal energy over a localized surface area rather than a concentrated point. This configuration allows for efficient heat transfer necessary for metallurgical processes such as heat treating, straightening distorted structural members, and priming materials prior to welding.

Constructed with a 12-inch overall length, the assembly ensures that the operator maintains a safe working distance from the workpiece, mitigating the risks associated with radiant heat exposure. The tip is rated for use with Acetylene and Hydrogen fuel gases. Acetylene is preferred for its high flame temperature and heat transfer rate, making this tip highly effective for rapid heating of ferrous metals. The internal geometry of the Size 6 orifice is precision-machined to ensure stable flame characteristics and to prevent flow turbulence that could lead to backfires. Users must adhere to the specific pressure settings recommended for Size 6 MFA tips to maintain optimal performance and safety standards.

The physical dimensions of the product are approximately 0.6 x 1.9 x 0.6 inches for the tip head itself, with the tube extending the total length. Manufactured in Mexico, this genuine Victor component adheres to strict quality control protocols, ensuring reliability in industrial environments ranging from automotive repair shops to heavy fabrication facilities. It is not designed for use with alternate fuel gases like Propane or Natural Gas, which require different injector and tip designs (typically Type MFA-N or similar).
