Roofing Torch AWTools AW13853 — Long Gas Blowtorch with Piezo Ignition

AWTools AW13853 is a long gas blowtorch designed for heating and torching roofing materials. The tool features an extended nozzle that concentrates flame for controlled heating of bitumen membranes, roofing felts and similar materials. An integrated piezo ignition allows one-handed spark start, while the gun-style handle and trigger provide stable control during use. The torch connects to standard portable gas canisters for easy replacement and on-site mobility.

Advantages

The long nozzle provides focused heat transfer to reach seams and overlap areas without excessive exposure to adjacent surfaces. Integrated piezo ignition eliminates the need for external lighters or matches and enables quick, single-handed start-up. The pistol grip and trigger arrangement improve ergonomics for prolonged tasks, and the compact design supports portability for professional roofers and DIY users working at varying roof heights.

Suitable for

• Heating and torching bitumen membranes and roofing felts
• Sealing roof overlaps and joints
• On-site roofing repairs and patching
• General heat-shrinking and light brazing tasks compatible with a gas blowtorch

Key specifications

• Tool type: long gas blowtorch with nozzle
• Ignition: built-in piezo spark ignition for one-handed start
• Nozzle: extended/long nozzle for concentrated flame
• Handle: pistol-style grip with trigger control

How to use

Before use, check connections and ensure the gas canister is compatible and securely attached. Open the gas valve slightly and activate the piezo ignition to produce a flame; adjust flame intensity as needed using the regulator or valve. Direct the extended nozzle towards the roofing material at a consistent distance and move steadily to heat the surface evenly. Keep the torch moving to avoid overheating any single spot and shut off the gas supply and allow the tool to cool after completing the task.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves, safety glasses and flame-retardant clothing. Work in well-ventilated conditions and keep a fire extinguisher or water source nearby. Follow the gas canister manufacturer’s instructions for safe connection and storage, and allow the torch to cool before changing canisters or storing the tool.
