Do It Best 385816 Heavy Duty Swirl Flame Torch

Product Description

The DO IT BEST 385816 is a heavy-duty hand torch designed for large-diameter soldering, brazing, heat treating, and light welding applications. Its ultra swirl flame delivers maximum heat output, reducing soldering time and improving efficiency on demanding jobs. The torch features an auto start/stop ignition for quick, safe flame control, an adjustable flame control valve for sizing the flame to the task, and a run-lock button that keeps the torch lit during continuous operation. A pressure-regulated valve maintains consistent performance even when the torch is tilted or momentarily inverted. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters who work with large-diameter copper or other metals will find this torch suited to production and service work alike.

The 385816 is built for trade professionals who need sustained, high-intensity heat output on the job. It is compatible with MAP-Pro fuel cylinders and performs best when paired with MAP-Pro gas for maximum heat output. The cast aluminum body keeps weight down while providing the durability required for daily field use. The adjustable flame makes it suitable for a range of tasks from tight heat treating work to full brazing passes on larger-diameter fittings encountered in commercial and residential plumbing and HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

This torch is typically used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians performing soldering and brazing work under applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Always shut off and relieve pressure from any system being worked on before applying heat to fittings. Attach the torch to the fuel cylinder securely before igniting, and verify there are no fuel leaks prior to use. Never use in an enclosed space without adequate ventilation, and keep flammable materials clear of the work area.
