BEST BLOW TORCH FOR PLUMBING - TOOLS OF THE TRADE

[@ktm-bc1dw]

The next nozzle size down is best. Tip doesn’t get hot and will comfortably heat up 22mm copper

[@DAVEHARSTON]

Oooooo" my friends got a tennis court " 🤣

[@plumberparts]

Ha! If only I had the room!

[@kennethcarter5720]

I’ve had two of these in the last five years. Both developed a leakage from on/off switch. Do I chance another rothenberger or change brand. People on KZbin who have not had this problem seem to have bought there’s many years ago. Are the newer ones made in china? Is that why they are failing?

[@johnwaby4321]

Nice torch . Even better when you use it upside down and the flame does not go mad. 👍👍👍

[@stuartandrews4344]

Love my Superfire,had it many years,few months ago,I used a friends GoSystem QP8937H to unbugger his failure at plumbing, isn't too bad for a cheap torch.

[@plumbraider2265]

Can’t find the superfire 2 anywhere in the Netherlands, but I think the bernzomatic ts8000 is the same

[@simplyshaker]

I have probably only ever done a few soldered joints in my life, everything is brazed here in France. Isn't it strange that the two countries could have such a different view on how plumbing should be done.

[@plumberparts]

I know! There’s a guy I follow on YT from the states and it’s always interesting seeing how they do things.

[@martinaddison6244]

Well WE are right!

[@5084204]

what's the difference? Brazing with the rods is super similar to soldering.

[@ilricettario]

I've had mine for 20 years now, recently having problems with ignition spark so I've just changed to the "swirl" flame burner tip and a new jet, will see how that works out?

[@Comm0ut]

Slick fume extractor! I use similar for soldering made with a shop vac.

[@seanditch4419]

Great video thank you, but could you please tell me why your tip doesnt start to glow red once you've turned the flame down to low?

Thanks for sharing your advice

No worries!

I have the vortex and the igniter stopped working, is there a part that can be changed?

It's 2mm Allen grub screw by the way if anyone is wondering

[@plumberparts]

Ah yeah! I couldn't remember...

[@krystopcosek764]

Nozzle can be replaced for smaller

[@andrewdeaville6442]

It's a good torch, but I find the standard nozzle tip gives a to bigger flame. Change it for the smaller one and its perfect for 22-15mm.

[@glynnhancock9546]

What size is the smaller nozzle? Cheers.

[@plumberparts]

I used to have a smaller nozzle. Swapping now!

[@mateuszmasowski3355]

@andrewdeaville6442 What do you mean smaller tip? I found on web just swirl flame tip and turbine flame tip, is it one of this maybe? Thanks!

[@Ben-wb8ki]

You need to get a cool tip bud! Smaller flame aswell.

[@wahsnehmada]

Can you solder with a heat gun

[@5084204]

MAP is for professionals, amateurs should start on propane - it is just much easier to work with (but slower)

Hi. What kind of gas cylinder do you use?

[@algyk]

Hi there - I want to buy a blowtorch for lighting coal BBQ. In America they have some amazing like the Grillgun or Su-vgun - basically they are super high powered propane torches. I am keen to get something similar in the UK , so I can get a coal BBQ going super quick. Please can you let me know what you recommend? Thank you.

[@valentinbelchev3301]

Hi James, I am watching all your videos and really enjoy them 👌 I have a question for you: I have a tee from a cold feed pipe that is about 4meters long and not needed anymore. Instead of capping it off and create a dead leg, will it be wrong if I reconnect it back to the cold feed pipe down the line? And if that works, will it make any difference if the that reconnection to the cold feed is last in the line creating a loop circuit? TIA

[@Allegedly2right]

Thermometers for balancing the central heating pipes I have four with 4 different readings and 2 lasers with different readings a brand new Fluke my head is up you know where haha sort that one you are the man

Hi James. When are you most likely to use a soldered elbow instead of a bent elbow?

[@ralphus20]

Is there a kit you can recommend. I’m starting out so would like to get it as a package? I’ve seen a few but unsure of what is reasonable for a newbie. Thanks in advance

[@adamhetherington520]

Did Emily make you move that hose reel from the utility room to the shed....? Or did you get another one..?

[@plumberparts]

I have two!

Old mapp gas bk in the 90s with a rothemberger standard torch , I used to solder many 54 mm copper pipes no probs , the new mapp is rubbish

[@mikeballinger1287]

Really good video thanks for doing it

[@plumberparts]

No worries dude!

[@Englishstgeorge]

I bought one a couple of weeks ago to do some work in the kitchen, based on your past videos. Still haven't got the hang of soldering tees, so need to practice more, ended up cheating and using speedfit on the tees and soldering all the other joints :)

[@davelaye7003]

speedfit? blerghhh

[@georgedrewry2311]

Hi James, unrelated to this video but where do you get your rubber washers to swap out for fibres on tap/wc connectors? Keep up the good work!

[@krcright9746]

Do you ever remember a rothenberger blow torch with a braided hose and the torch looked like a gun? It had a clip as well so you could attach it, man I loved that torch

Great tips there Jimbo, I never knew the superfire2 worked without the burner tip. I always get a tiny little bit of a flame in the aeration holes after I've released the trigger. Any idea of why that would be, or how I could fix it? 👍

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Yeah just make it into a E thick blowtorch and face it down and we can hide behind the ponytails back. Aka tail lift aka magpie pyramid. Smile guys let's all go to paradise unfourtunately

[@michaelmayo3127]

Rothenberger don't make the Fore 2 model any-more. Their new model is the Rothenberger Super Fire 3 that comes with a whole repertoire of nozzles. And uses Mapp gas that gives a higher temperature. Many EU country building code don't allow the use of solder (tin) for copper pipe fitting and soft silver has tobe use, the reason for this is that silver and copper react with each other when heated and form an alloy. Solder (Tin) and copper don't react in the same way when heated, when heated they form a bond. Also the higher flame temperature of the new Super fire 3, can braze with ease, hard-silver. Thus an even more durable alloy can be attained.

[@andrewhayes4914]

Why would you light your blow lamp with out the burner tip on it? you will melt the plastic core around the pizzo igniter lead! Just take the tip off and heat it with another blow lamp most plumbers have a spare or an older one in the van or ask your mate fir a lend if his

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

I had a new supefire 2 for just over a year then 😵😵😵 kaboom!!! Always left the bottle connected only to find out the torch has a pressure relief device that when it goes cannot be replaced and the torch is fooked cannot be repaired. Will never buy the superfire 2 again now using a monument torch with a wander hose 👍💯💯💯😍😍😍
