Victor Air/Acetylene Torch Tip A-8
This Victor torch tip connects to a G-4 or PLF-A5 handle using a quick-connect fitting. It produces a swirl flame designed for brazing and soldering tasks. The tip is rated for soft solder from 1 in to 2 in and silver braze from 1/2 in to 1 in. It requires an external lighter for ignition.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The tip operates at a fuel pressure of 14 psig and is built from the Extreme series for durability during extended heating cycles. Consistent pressure maintains the swirl flame pattern without flare-out. The design resists carbon build-up that can choke the orifice over long jobs. Heat output remains stable as long as the supply pressure is held steady.
Setup Checklist
Verify that your torch handle accepts the quick-connect fitting and matches the G-4 or PLF-A5 part numbers. Confirm your regulator can deliver a steady 14 psig fuel supply. Ensure you have an external lighter available, as the tip has no built-in igniter. Check that the joint sizes fall within the 1 in to 2 in soft solder or 1/2 in to 1 in silver braze ranges.
