Questions about this item
How do I verify the torch handle is ready for welding after connecting it?
After connecting the 9/16 in. -18 left-hand UNF male inlet to a B-size hose fitting, open the fuel valve and check for a steady flame at the tip; the handle accepts acetylene, natural gas, propane or propylene and is rated for up to 1/2 in. maximum welding thickness.
What comes with the 85 series handle and what must I purchase separately?
The box contains only the 8 1/2 in. torch handle weighing 16 oz; compatible cutting attachments (39-3F, 72-3), heating tips (1390-B, 1390-H, 1390-HA, J-63) and welding/brazing tips (1390, 1390-N, 23A90) are sold separately.
Which tip series should I choose for heating versus welding with this handle?
Select 1390-B, 1390-H, 1390-HA or J-63 for heating applications; choose 1390, 1390-N or 23A90 for welding and brazing tasks — all listed series fit the 85 handle.
