Value Collection 172H-6 Oxy-acetylene Heating Elbow Nozzle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 172H-6 is a tip number 6 oxy-acetylene heating elbow nozzle built for medium-duty heating applications. Designed as part of the 142T Series, this nozzle delivers a focused flame pattern suited to brazing, bending, and general heating tasks in the field or shop. The elbow configuration positions the flame at an angle, making it easier to direct heat into tight or awkward work areas. It is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general welding professionals who require reliable heat output from standard general-purpose oxy-acetylene torch setups.

This nozzle fits general-purpose oxy-acetylene torches and is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work. Common applications include copper pipe brazing, metal fabrication prep, heat-bending conduit or fittings, and loosening seized fasteners. The medium-duty rating makes it a practical everyday-carry tip for service technicians who need consistent heating performance across a range of material thicknesses without stepping up to a heavy-duty setup.

Key Features

• Tip number 6 orifice size for medium-duty oxy-acetylene heating output
• Elbow nozzle geometry allows flame direction into confined or angled workspaces
• 142T Series design for compatibility with general-purpose oxy-acetylene torches
• Oxy-acetylene gas type for high-temperature brazing, heating, and bending tasks
• Lightweight at 0.55 pounds for extended handheld use

Compatibility

Designed for use with general-purpose oxy-acetylene torches that accept 142T Series medium-duty heating nozzle tips.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with oxy-acetylene equipment and safe gas handling procedures. Always close both the oxygen and acetylene cylinder valves and relieve pressure from the hoses and torch body before swapping nozzle tips. Inspect the nozzle seat and threads for damage or debris before threading the tip into place, and never use a damaged or clogged tip. Follow all applicable safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when operating oxy-acetylene torches.
