Eastwood Lead Body Soldering Diffuser Tip

Product Overview:

Description

Diffuser Tip turns your torch into a soft-flame soldering gun

Slip this tip over your existing oxy-acetylene tip and you can use acetylene (only) to produce a soft flame that's perfect for soldering.

  • Saves gas and money
  • 1/4"-I.D. rubber hose

Save gas and money by using this soldering diffuser tip on the end of any tapered oxy/acetylene torch tip. Use acetylene only—do not use oxygen! (A flame containing oxygen will melt the rubber in the tip.) Actual I.D. of rubber hose is 1/4". Instructions included on gas settings to get maximum results. Made in USA.

WARNING: READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING TORCH TIP

Installation

Push this torch tip onto the end of any tapered oxy/acetylene torch tip. Actual I.D. of rubber hose is 1/4".


Caution - Use Acetylene Only! Do Not Use Oxygen! A flame containing oxygen will melt the rubber in the tip!


Flame Adjustment

Unlike ordinary torch tips, turn the acetylene gas on all the way before lighting, then adjust the flame down to the desired setting. If the torch is lit while the gas flow is too low, it will not produce the proper blue cone flame and will blacken the area on which you are working. Incorrect lighting of the torch (low gas flow) with this tip installed will also burn the inside of the tip and melt the rubber.

Safety Information

Wear appropriate safety eyewear.

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The second one I have owned I had one that I bought 35 yrs ago, but my buddy didn't read the instructions and burned it up by using the oxygen. I ordered this as a replacement and have to say it works so much better than a propane torch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Diffuser Tip I spent the money to buy this tip instead of using the torch tips I had. I'm glad I used this tip. No warping at all. Watch the Eastwood Tinning video.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT PRODUCT I was having trouble with applying lead either not enough heat or too much with acetylene torch and propane torch. I tried this diffuser and Oh my god I love it: it made the job go so much smoother. I highly recommend it.
