Twisting, Electronic Ignition Hand Torch
|
|
|
|
This hand torch by Uniweld solders up to 3" pipes and brazes up to 1" pipes with propane / MAPP gas (not included; sold at local home stores). The Twister®2 is self-igniting, has a flame tube that swivels 360°, a swirl combustion tip and trigger lock. The pistol grip handle is ergonomically designed for comfort. If you are using this torch for soldering air conditioning / heat pump copper linesets, then you'll need to purchase MAPP gas from your local home store. MAPP gas burns hotter than propane or a new gas called "MAPP/Pro". Do not use propane or MAPP/Pro, since the flame won't be hot enough to adequately braze. You will also want to purchase the appropriate brazing rod. CAUTION: When brazing pipes into air conditioning condenser or heat pump, first tie a wet rag around the service valves to dissipate heat. If this isn't done, there are small rubber O-rings in the valves which can melt and cause refrigerant leaks. If you aren't familiar with using a torch, for your safety have your air conditioning contractor perform this task for you. Wear proper eye and hand protection when operating a torch.
