Uniweld 40048 Needle Tip 6 Inch 1/4 Inch Female Flare Torch

Product Description

The UNIWELD 40048 is a 6-inch needle tip designed for use with portable torch setups in HVAC and plumbing applications. The tip features a 1/4-inch female flare fitting for connection to compatible torch handles and fuel sources. Its narrow, focused flame pattern makes it well suited for heat shrink work, targeted heating, and close-tolerance soldering or brazing tasks where precision matters. HVAC technicians and plumbers rely on this type of tip when working in tight spaces or when a concentrated heat source is required to avoid collateral heat damage to adjacent components or materials.

This needle tip is intended for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and plumbing service work. It is a common accessory for torch kits used in pipe work, heat shrink tubing installation, and general heating tasks on the job. The 1/4-inch female flare connection is a standard interface found on many compatible UNIWELD torch handles, making it a practical replacement or spare tip for technicians already working within the UNIWELD torch system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed plumber familiar with torch equipment and applicable codes. Ensure the fuel source valve is fully closed and the torch handle is depressurized before attaching or removing any tip. Thread the female flare fitting onto the torch handle by hand first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten. Always follow local fire codes and manufacturer guidelines when operating open-flame torch equipment in occupied or confined spaces.
