Gas torch Vorel 73341 — handheld gas blowtorch, single-piece kit

Handheld gas torch Vorel 73341 is a single-piece kit designed for portable open-flame tasks such as soldering, light brazing, heat-shrinking, loosening seized fasteners and small-scale culinary uses. The unit is compact and intended for workshop, home repairs, DIY projects and fieldwork. Its long burner with a 50 mm nozzle enables work in a standing position and helps cover larger surface areas efficiently when working with roofing felt or other materials that require directed heat.

Advantages

The Vorel 73341 combines a long roofer's burner design with a 50 mm nozzle to deliver concentrated heat at a distance, reducing the need to bend or crouch during prolonged tasks. The handle includes a safety valve that automatically closes gas supply when the burner is set down, helping to reduce gas consumption and improving on-site safety. The torch is designed for use with compressed butane cylinders or propane-butane mixtures, which allows operation in locations without electrical power. The kit approach includes the burner, nozzle, and a 2 m hose for immediate assembly and use.

Suitable for

• Roofing work involving bitumen or roofing felt
• Soldering and light brazing in workshops or on-site repairs
• Heat-shrinking and loosening rusted or seized fasteners
• Portable heating tasks during fieldwork and construction
• Small-scale culinary applications requiring a portable torch

Key specifications

• Long burner design with 50 mm nozzle for directed heat
• Handle with automatic shut-off valve when placed down
• Powered by compressed butane or propane-butane gas mixture
• Includes hose: 2 m length for remote cylinder connection
• Connector thread standard for gas cylinder attachment (matching supplied hose fittings)

How to use

Assemble the device following the instruction manual: attach the 2 m hose to the assembled burner and then to the gas cylinder, tightening all connections securely. Before use, check the tightness of connections by slightly opening the cylinder valve and applying soapy water to the joints; if bubbles appear, close the cylinder valve and tighten leaking connections until no bubbles form. To light, open the cylinder valve, open the appliance valve slightly to allow gas flow, and ignite the gas at the outlet of the cup using a lighter suitable for portable gas burners. After about 20 seconds, press the burner lever to establish the working flame and adjust the burner valve if the flame length requires correction. When finished, close the cylinder valve, wait for the flame to extinguish, and set the burner down on a non-flammable surface to cool before performing any maintenance. Follow all detailed installation, operation and maintenance instructions provided in the manual supplied with the product.

Usage recommendations

Use the Vorel 73341 only with approved compressed butane or propane-butane cylinders and in well-ventilated areas. Always verify hose and connector tightness before ignition and place the burner on a non-flammable surface while cooling. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection when performing soldering, brazing or roofing tasks.
