Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BERNZOMATIC from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Bernzomatic TS3700KC and TS3700T hand torches?
Both the TS3700KC and TS3700T are high-output swivel-head hand torches with a curved tip, adjustable flame, and trigger-start ignition, compatible with propane fuel. The primary difference is the kit configuration: the TS3700KC is supplied as a kit, which may include additional accessories or a fuel cylinder, while the TS3700T is typically the torch head alone. For specification purposes, confirm the exact package contents with the manufacturer part number when ordering.
What fuel types are compatible with Bernzomatic hand torches?
Bernzomatic hand torches are designed for use with either propane or MAP-Pro fuel, depending on the model. For example, the TS99, TS3700T, and TS3700KC are compatible with propane, while the BZ4500HS is compatible with MAP-Pro. Always verify the fuel type specified for the exact model before use, as using an incompatible fuel can affect performance and safety.
What are the specifications of the Bernzomatic WB5 brazing alloy?
The Bernzomatic WB5 is a low-fuming bronze brazing alloy classified as RBCuZn-C. It is supplied as bare rods measuring 3/32 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, packaged in a 24-piece pack. The alloy has a tensile strength of 50 to 60 ksi and is used for joining steel, copper, and brass in applications such as HVAC, plumbing, and general maintenance.
Can Bernzomatic outdoor torches be used for thawing frozen pipes?
Yes, Bernzomatic outdoor torches such as the 444116 (low-capacity) and JT855 (medium-capacity) are suitable for thawing frozen pipes, as well as weed control and other outdoor heating tasks. These models feature a fixed tip, adjustable flame, and wide brush flame pattern, and are compatible with propane fuel. The JT855 includes an external lighter for ignition, while the 444116 uses a trigger-start mechanism.
What is the difference between adjustable and preset flame control on Bernzomatic torches?
Adjustable flame control allows the user to vary the flame size and heat output continuously, as seen on models like the TS99, TS3700T, and 361546. Preset flame control provides a fixed flame setting for consistent output, as on the BZ4500HS. The choice depends on the task: adjustable flames suit applications requiring variable heat, while preset flames are used where a specific, repeatable flame is needed.
