helping a friend dispose of extra stuff - here's a nice older Victor torch with tips
And, what the heck is a type 22 tip - fits the above torches, but it is a copper tip (not chrome colored) with aluminum fins for about 1/2 the length - any clues?
thanks
Bill,
A type 22 tip is for a Victor J-40 jeweler's torch. The J-40 body is only 3.5" long, so that aluminum "handle" on the Type 22 tip, it to provide additional area to hold on to the torch when in use.

thanks, that's helpful - I looked up that handle

They are very light weight, and therefore very easy to manipulate quickly. Goldsmiths like these types of torches because they can "get in" and "get out" quickly before the piece melts before their eyes.
The couple of J-40s that I own, do not have a flashback suppressor in the body..but i've got them on the hoses.
