Using a Torch

The TS3500 Multi-Use Torch is a versatile torch well suited to a variety of tasks, including light soldering, lighting grills, loosening rusted bolts and softening putty or paint. It features an automatic ignition that instantly ignites the flame without the hassle of a spark lighter.

Most torches light better when the valve is just cracked open and there is light gas flow. Learn more.

Some of our torches (WT2301, WT2301C, WPK2301 and UL2317) are designed for plumbing or soldering – uses that work best with the torch head upright. For this reason, they do not have a pressure regulator to control the flow of fuel through the torch. When theses torches are inverted, the liquid propane works its way through the torch and extinguishes the flame.

For work that requires inversion, we recommend a pressure-regulated torch, such as the TS3500 Multi-Use Torch or a cast body torch, such as the TS4000, BZ4500HS, or TS8000.
