Same here, had to replace the neck last year because it stopped sparking but found rothenberger parts fit an are more readily available.

 

[Koogatubac]

Mine doesnt spark now and again. How much was a replacement crops?

 

[Dotty]

Can't remember off hand mate, I know it was shedloads cheaper than a complete new torch though.

Just googled it, it's actually called a burn tube.

Very slow though. I've got a monument electrical inductance soldering machine and it takes around 4 times as long as with a blow torch. Very handy if you're working very close to highly flammable materials. I was doing a boiler and cylinder swap a few years ago and the cylinder cupboard was lined with polystyrene tiles. Even with a heat mat the tiles would have melted using a blow torch. The customer queried why I was using it and I explained about the fire risk and he seemed quite impressed. He was even more impressed next day when I went back and the front page of his paper had a picture of a listed building burnt to the ground by a plumbing apprentice.

I love my Bernzomatic – still going strong. It’s made in USA – solid.

I always remove the gas bottle. I heard that you can be fined up to £1000 if the police stop you and see it. Anyone know if that's actually true?
I've heard of them leaking and blowing up too along the way

 

[Barry98]

Those leaking one were earlier this year and called back to the suppliers

Propane gas bottles ALWAYS leak when u disconnect them. I turn flame off and turn it down and leave it connected

I do some work in places where the fire alarms & smoke detectors can't be turned off so can't use a blow torch.
Does your machine set off any alarms ?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

its called tesco , seinsburry plastic bag and a bit of tape !!!!

 

[Koogatubac]

Never heard of seinsburry?

Is this a new creation safegas?

It can cause smoke if you use too much flux. A lot less than a torch though.

Lol - Some of these places would need quite a few bags

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I dont use any , if it goes of the alarm I let it run ......
,but if its one of them places where the fire alarm is linked worth the local fire station then is a big risk as the could be charged for a them coming over and not been a real fire (bit disappointing really ) pmsl
