Rothenberger MAPP Gas Cylinder 400gms

Product Information

Much like the 2 models above, this plumbers blow torch from Bernzomatic is a torch-only; you’ll have to buy the gas separately. Temperature Concentration

We had no trouble getting a sufficiently high temperature with its constant swirl flame. The only problem you may encounter is when you need lower temperature for specific tasks — that’s because you can’t control the flame intensity. Ignition There’s a tonne of different blow torches on offer — just jump into any plumbing store and see for yourself. But your decision about which model to buy will essentially hinge on these 2 preferences: The Piezo ignition is the same used on the Rothenberger. And, that means it’s not just going to fire up instantly, it’s going to ACTUALLY last. Per the manufacturer’s instructions, it’s best to use Bernzomatic’s MAPP or propane cylinders with this blow torch. Weight Firstly, just our tests have shown, other buyers haven’t experienced issues with angled soldering using this blow torch.Just like the torches, there’s a tonne of brands offering gas online. If you need gas for your soldering torch and want to grab it from a well-known brand, Rothenberger have their gas on offer online. Final Notes Buying a Plumbers Blow Torch Also provided within this kit 2 Pro Mapp gas cylinders of 7grams. Mapp gives an increased flame temperature of up to 2,400C compared to propane, both are suitable for a range of soldering and brazing tasks, and ideal for silver soldering of refrigeration pipework. Temperature concentration – the flame is adjustable with the turbine flame making the flame concentrated.

Weight – the Superfire 2 torch weighs under 700g. if you spend a lot of your time soldering you do not want to handle a torch that is incredibly heavy. In our tests, the pressure was consistent enough that we could use this blow torch for angled and even inverted soldering without issues. Ignition There are plenty of no-name brands offering similar (but definitely not the same) models for 20-30% less.This plumbers blow torch is the American answer to the Rothenberger blow lamps. Like the Rothenberger we described above, it’s a quality-made torch that spews a consistent, reliable flame and is pleasantly simple to operate. And to be able to be precisely solder 8mm one day and 54mm the next, you’ll need a highly sensitive adjustable flame…which is exactly what the Super Fire 2 has. Price Got a soldering torch you’re happy or unhappy with? Drop a comment below — we’d love to hear what you think of it. Nothing from Rothenberger is “cheap”. But, that’s not their focus with any product they offer — their products are all about NOT letting you down and standing the test of time. The burn tube is made from heavy duty stainless steel and accepts a range of gas cylinders. We loved how the stainless steel is tough enough to prevent any form of gas leakage if it’s dropped, so it’s much safer than the cheaper untested soldering torches on the market.

Using the Piezo ignition, you’ll then be able to adjust the turbine flame to make it super-concentrated. This will make soldering copper joints of all sizes no problem at all. We are currently using Royal Mail Parcelforce and DPD as our delivery providers, all small items will be delivered by Royal Mail, these can take up to three working days to reach you. Soldering at angles isn’t exactly good on your joints, and this is again where the ergonomics of the Monument Tools gas torch comes into its own. Ignition

The gas distribution to Superfire 2’s outlet is consistent, and we found that soldering upside-down or at angles with this torch is an absolute breeze. Ignition

This is far from the cheapest plumbers blow torch out there. But in our opinion (and that of most reviewers) it’s worth the premium. If fitting the Cool Tip to a SuperFire 2, the correct jet provided must be fitted also so the torch can function correctly. Just like its more expensive cousin — the Superfire 2 — this gas torch has instant Piezo ignition, so you needn’t worry about digging around for your lighter to get the fire going. We noticed that on occasion it took 2-3 attempts to ignite, but never more than that. Gas Type Rothenberger used the base of the original Super Fire, and then made it MUCH better, to come up with the Super Fire 2.That means high levels of heat concentration, which makes your soldering work easy and consistent. Angled Soldering This no-frills burner from Rothenberger is also a torch-only tool — you’ll have to buy your own gas cylinders. Temperature Concentration This budget-friendly plumbers blow torch from Rothenberger comes in at half the price of the Superfire 2. And, if you’re looking for a bare-bones gas torch that boasts the same quality make, and produces the same reliable flame, then there’s no need to overspend — this model will serve you well. So, it’s not a full kit, and that entails buying other bits (like gas) separately (yes, more money). Temperature Concentration
