Harris 43-2 Torch Handle

The Harris 43-2 is a welding torch handle built for oxy-fuel applications. It accepts acetylene, natural gas, propane and propylene, giving fabricators and maintenance technicians flexibility across different fuel supplies.

Compatible tip series expand the handle's range

The handle works with heating tip series 1390-B, 1390-H, 1390-HA, 2290, 2290-H, 2290-HPM, H-43, H-63, J-43 and J-63. Selecting the correct tip from these series determines the flame characteristic and the maximum welding thickness the operator can achieve.

Installation uses standard B-size hose fittings

The 9/16 in.-18 left-hand UNF male inlets thread directly onto B-size hose connections, so no adapters are required. The most common issue is cross-threading the left-hand threads during the first few turns, which can damage the inlet and cause gas leaks.

Questions about this item

How often should I replace the O-rings on the 9/16-18 UNF left-hand inlets?

Inspect the inlet O-rings before each use; replace them at the first sign of cracking or flattening to maintain a gas-tight seal on the 9/16-18 UNF left-hand threads.

What is the maximum plate thickness the 43-2 handle can weld continuously before overheating?

The handle is rated for a maximum welding thickness of 1 in; sustained work at that limit will heat the brass body, so pause periodically to let it cool.

How hot does the brass body get after an hour of cutting with a 1390 series tip?

Expect the handle to become too hot to hold bare-handed after extended cutting; wear insulated gloves and allow cool-down breaks during all-day use.
