Saffire 5

In the pursuit of excellence, Murex have now taken the well tried and tested Saffire 5 to the ultimate level of product development. Saffire 5 with its cutting attachment offers refinement, precision engineering and a level of strength and operational safety essential to survive the rigours of today's welding environment.

• Manufactured to EN 5172
• Unique aluminium alloy gun drilled handle specially shaped for comfort and lightness with strength and reliability.
• Parallel torqued inlet fittings with filters for maximum safety and durability.
• Totally encapsulated trim valves for precise gas control.
• Heavy chrome finish for maximum wear resistance.
• Cutting attachment with a host of operational improvements.

As with all Saffire products, the Saffire 5, welding cutting and process blowpipe is manufactured under the demanding BS EN ISO 9000 quality Management System.

Cutting Attachment
Designed to cope with the rigours of the modern welding and fabrication environment, the Saffire 5 cutting attachment offers a host of new features developed as a result of an intensive product development programme. The Saffire 5 cutting attachment uses a new design of cutting oxygen valve which allows more control of the cutting oxygen flow for improved cut quality. The gas tubes between the body and head are now in line, giving maximum visibility of the working area, also connections between the gas tubes and the head and body of the cutting attachment are now brazed for increased strength. The head itself is equipped with internal threads for the head nut which greatly reduces the risk of thread damage, and finally the whole of the cutting attachment has been given a chrome finish to increase heat reflection and reduce spatter adhesion. All this, together with the famous Saffire nozzle mix system, means the Saffire 5 is probably the most robust and versatile gas welding, cutting and process blowpipe available.

Saffire 5 the most versatile welding, cutting and gas process system available
In addition to welding between 1mm and 25mm and cutting to 200mm using acetylene, Saffire 5 with its increased flow capacity and using the appropriate attachments, can be used to perform a wide range of oxy fuel gas processes which include:

• Heating with acetylene
• Heating with propane
• Flame cleaning
• Rivet cutting
• Gouging
• Circle cutting

Note: Saffire 3,4 & 5 Equipment is interchangeable.

Saffire NM Range

The range of Saffire NM cutters continues the tradition of nozzle mix design with the quality and reliability synonymous with Saffire. A proven design incorporating the latest technical features necessary to meet the changing service requirements of the hand cutting market.

• Nozzle mix principle for maximum safety.
• Backfire resistant design. Progressive "bleed" characteristics.
• Two length options
• 90° and 75° cutting head.
• New control knob for positive flame setting.
• New robust lever latch.

Both Saffire Cutters are equally suitable for Acetylene and Propane service simply by changing the nozzle.
Saffire cutters have the benefit of a unique cutting oxygen flow valve which through the cutting lever acts indirectly to bring in the oxygen stream. This important feature gives a true "bleed" characteristic to create splash free starts and progressive piercing and the smoothest possible cutting conditions.
Saffire NM Cutters are designed to EN 5172 "Handheld Blowpipes for Welding and Cutting" and supplied under the quality management systems of BS EN ISO 9002.

Saffire NM 250 Part No.1256484
The NM 250 Model is principally intended for general workshop cutting up to 250mm (10") capacity. The balance and trim combined with 500mm (18") length make it ideally suited for most industrial applications.

Saffire NM 400 Part No.1256482
This model has the benefit of a 75° head and 700m (27") length combined with a cutting capacity of 400mm (16"). The cutter is designed for heavy duty fabrication and scrap cutting applications where the combinations of head angle and extended length create both positive and comfortable working conditions for the operator.

B.S. Note: Where applicable blowpipes and nozzles are designed and manufactured to comply with EN 5172.
