    Should I remove blowtorch from gas canister when not in use?

    I have one Rothenburger on a blue butane/propane and another on Mapp gas.....I’m too idle to disconnect the torches but I don’t think they leak either. Or at least, I can’t smell anything and they’re never empty. Wish I could say the same about Machine Marts argon/CO2 cylinders.....bought a few...

    Reheating and rotating 22mm end feed copper.

    Oh, it does - MAP is a much more concentrated and hotter flame. You can braze with them. I have a pair of Rothenburger's, I gave all my little butane / propane torches away, apart from a really big one, which was good for melting bitumen.

    What have you been doing today?

    ...work is a bit slow at the mo (waiting for information/parts) so I have been PAT testing most of the week. Yesterday I PAT failed a Rothenburger pipe threading machine (circa several £k) and ended up stripping it down to remove the motor so I can clean all the gunk out of the windings, took...

    Shower pressure of cold, leaky sink! Help please :)

    As your pipes are tiled in, I’d give anything a try......the Rothenburger is indeed what I meant, and I’d also consider a wet vac, with a suitably taped nozzle to fit on the exposed pipe. The basin mate is what you need, and it is inserted up into the basin and secured with that back nut -...

    Which Pipe Freezing kits?

    Removal Of 60's Radiator Fittings

    Thanks a lot for this. I think you're right. I should have taken this photo when I asked the question... If you are correct about the tool I need, will the Monument Grip Slotted 2 Step tool fit onto my own rachet handle or would I need to purchase a special handle for it? Only it's much...

    Turning off main water outside house

    I think you should save up and buy a torch. mud and grit may have buried the tap handle. A wet and dry vac will suck it out if you can poke at it to loosen it. Or a long kitchen spoon. A ladle may be to big to work with. I clean mine out every couple of years. Once you have exposed the...

    Curiouser and curiouser. I don't get the same number of results as you when I search for "rothenburger", I get 59. It would make sense for a discrepancy to be down to not getting hits for posts from people on my ignore list (although 75 feels like rather a lot). But I do get 59 from each...
