brazing torches

[Alan]

Hi I would welcome any advice on brazing torches, I can braze at the moment with the torch I have but it spends most of the time heating up the surrounding areas. I see that Screwfix. B&Q ect sell torches with different outputs, should I simply go for the "hottest" along with the recommended gas as they advertise or are there other considerations that I am not aware of. I am not going to braze large areas.Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Hi. In 'General Chat' there is a recent thread on 'Brazing torches for boilers' which may help.

My choice would be one of these -

www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/pmpx-professional-torch-kit/path/gas-torches-soldering-irons

They are identical to the much more expensive Sievert version (£167 from Chronos) and accept the same nozzles. I bought mine about 6 years ago when they were about £30 and have built 2 boilers using it. Budget for a couple of bigger nozzles as well in future.

Cheers

I'm using two Sievert torches bought from these guys :

They are cheaper than Machine Mart for the PPMX set and also do the bigger burners - buy all the same time and they combine postage.

No connection just a satisfied customer.
