    Rothenberger Super fire 2 blow torch problem

    No gas is coming out of the torch when I press the button. It was working fine until the gas ran out of the previous bottle and won't work with the new bottle and it has the same fitting. When I press the valve in the bottle it releases gas at pressure. Anyone else had a problem like this?

    Yorkshire fittings advice please.

    Yep, unlike most DIY torches, you get a nice, hot, and tight pencil frame, and auto-ignition, or off, at the touch of a button. Nothing DIY comes close.

    ...plumbing in our house and never added extra solder- a great invention for sure. The main benefit I find (with the assistance of a decent rothenberger torch as mentioned above) is the ability to solder one handed when joints situated in various cavities/under floorboards etc. In addition, with...

    Yorkshire fittings advice please.

    Because I had a lot to do I invested in a good quality Rothenberger torch and blue gas bottle. I believe having that, and being able to control the flame so well, helped me a lot (y)

    Recommend me a copper pipe deburrer

    They will all be the same I'm sure, hardened steel blades, the Rothy ones were just the ones I saw a pic of first and it's the one I have. I never find I need to use it when I use a pipe slice, only when the cut is sawn or similar.

    Pipe slice prices

    I get Rothenberger ones from work for free, but they seem tight and a little hit and miss. Kopex on the other hand are a decent make and can be had for as little as £7ish in some instances from BES. I suppose what you may need to think is why are people going to buy them from you when they’ll...
