I would recommend the bulfinch torch (no3 torch head) , along with a 47kg bottle of propane.

Doesn't appear to be a current model, at least not in the current Bullfinch LPG catalogue

They do list a "Number 3 burner" for an acetylene torch,

but that can't be what you meant as you also said a "bottle of propane"

Is it you and Danstace who are wrong, or muggles? He has said it's for use with natural gas.

Safety is obviously a major concern with gas - can you and Dan give me assurances that a Bullfinch #3 would be safe to use with propane?

Yes, very funny.

You describe yourself as a gas engineer. Do you think that when Gaswizard and Danstace say that a Bullfinch #3 can be used with propane, and muggles says natural gas, that they are all giving good, and safe, advice?

i have just googled what you need , i seen two in two minutes with all you need to know

Ha. You can use it with natural gas if you want. But unless you have a constant mains gas supply wherever you are working. Or you can keep your natural gas cylinder cryogenically frozen between uses of your blow torch. I would stick to lpg if I were you mate

 

[ban-all-sheds]

It's not so much the availability of fuel that concerns me, it's the question of whether a gas burning appliance which the maker says is for use with acetylene would be either functional, or more importantly safe, when supplied with LPG or natural gas.

 

[AGAS]

why have you sectioned this to " tools and materials " another site , why not keep it in plumbing section ???????? i don't know how forums work , this is the first.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Don't ask me - I didn't do it.

I'm not a Moderator, remember.

 

[AGAS]

MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[ban-all-sheds]

I hope that isn't you expressing the belief that I might not be telling the truth.

 

[AGAS]

like i said i have never used any forum except this one and only this one , so i don't know how they operate it s just very coincidental of what has happened to accommodate your actions and situation . some people won't understand because those actions have already taken place .

well its just a suspicion anyway

 

[ban-all-sheds]

What has happened is that posts which were abusive and which accused me of lying and which complained that this topic is too long, or that I didn't make my mind up quickly enough, have been removed. A number of mine where I fought back against the insults and lies etc have also been removed.

Not sure why in your mind those things count as "accommodating my actions and situation". Did you think that they were all justified, that your fellow plumbers/gas engineers had every right to abuse and insult me, and that the removal of those posts points to some kind of favouritism, or mean that I must be a moderator?

Laughable.

well its just a suspicion anyway

And one which I have tried to disabuse you of. If you disbelieve or doubt the truth so be it, but you should do it in private.
