[SEL] Propane Torch

[Joseph L Betz]

Hi Glenn,

Why don't ya go with a plumber's Acetyline torch ?

We used to use propane torches in the vinyl / asbestos tile trade.
But, today, they just use the small ones due to fire regulations.
For some reason, we aren't allowed to take a tank & torch on the job.

I have one from a company called Goss Gas here in Glenshaw, (Pittsburgh,)
PA.
You can run it at idle and there is a lever that allows a good blast of
propane
when you want to use it.  We also use a regulator on the tank.
We used the 10 lb tank which was short & stubby compared to the 20 lb
used on Propane Grills.

A torch setup back then ( 10-20 years ago ) cost around $150
Probably over $250 now.

Pan down to # AP-55   (Ready Flame Propane Torch)

A bit of an over-kill to solder pipes but nice to have.
