Bullfinch 233P Propane Gas Torch Kit: Precision, Power, and Safety
The Bullfinch 233P Propane Gas Torch Kit is a robust and reliable "Autotorch" system engineered for demanding professional applications. Known for its instant ignition, precise flame control, and built-in safety features, this kit provides users with a powerful and efficient heating solution. It's an essential tool for tasks requiring high heat output and consistent performance, operating from a standard propane gas cylinder.
Features
- Autotorch System with Piezo Ignition:
- Single-Lever Operation: The primary distinguishing feature of the "Autotorch" is its single-lever control. Pressing the lever turns on the gas and automatically ignites the burner via a piezo-electric igniter. Releasing the lever immediately shuts off the flame, providing a critical "dead man's handle" safety feature.
- Instant Ignition: Eliminates the need for external lighters or matches, making it quick and easy to operate, even in windy conditions.
- High Power Output:
- Equipped with a No. 2305 burner (a general-purpose burner), it offers a substantial heat output, typically around 5.24 kW (at 1 bar pressure), with a gas consumption of approx. 528 g/h at 2 bar. This ensures rapid heating and efficient work on various materials.
The burner diameter is typically 30mm.
- Precise Flame Control:
- Features an integrated needle valve for fine flame adjustment. This allows operators to precisely control the heat output, adapting the flame from a sharp, focused point to a broader heat for different applications.
- Variable Pressure Regulator:
- The kit includes a No. 1051/11 Tinyreg variable pressure regulator, allowing adjustment of the operating pressure from approximately 0.35 to 2 bar (5 to 30 psi). This provides flexibility to optimize the flame for specific tasks and to manage gas consumption.
- Durable and Ergonomic Design:
- The No. 2300 handle is typically made from a strong, flat nylon or composite material, designed for comfortable, one-handed use and robust enough to withstand demanding site conditions.
- A swivel inlet connection prevents hose tangling, enhancing ease of use and mobility during operation.
- Versatile and Interchangeable Burners:
- The No. 2300 handle features a snap-fit connection that is compatible with a range of Bullfinch Autotorch burners (e.g., Nos. 2302 to 2321), allowing the user to quickly swap burners for different flame characteristics and applications (e.g., fine flame, large flame, brazing).
- Hose Assembly:
- Comes with a 2.75-meter (9 ft) high-quality, durable hose assembly (No. 1441). This provides ample reach and flexibility for working in various positions.
Kit Contents (Typical for Bullfinch 233P):
- No. 2300 Torch Handle: With single-lever operation and piezo ignition
- No. 2305 Burner: General-purpose burner with snap-fit connection
