Vorel 73420 is a handheld propane/butane gas torch supplied as a single-piece pack. Designed for use with common portable gas cartridges, it provides a focused flame for soldering, heating, brazing, loosening seized bolts, small roofing or plumbing repairs and a range of DIY tasks. Compact and portable, the torch features piezo ignition and flame power adjustment to deliver controlled heat for precision maintenance and workshop work.

Advantages

The torch delivers up to 2.8 kW of power and can reach a maximum temperature of 1300°C, enabling rapid heating of small components. An integrated piezo ignition ensures quick and reliable lighting without external lighters, while a built-in safety switch reduces accidental activation. The unit is designed for continuous operation at any angle, offering flexibility when working in confined or awkward positions. With an 8 g gas tank capacity, the torch provides runtime suitable for short repair and maintenance tasks.

How to use

Attach the torch to a compatible portable propane/butane cartridge according to the cartridge and torch manufacturer instructions. Open the gas supply slowly, set the flame power to the desired intensity using the adjustment control, and ignite the burner using the piezo ignition. Maintain a safe working distance and direct the focused flame only at the intended work surface. After use, close the gas supply, allow the torch to cool, and store it in a dry, ventilated area away from heat sources.

Usage recommendations

Use the torch in well-ventilated areas and keep flammable materials clear of the work zone. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. For precision tasks, start with a lower flame setting and increase gradually. Regularly check connections for leaks and follow the cartridge manufacturer's safety instructions. Do not leave the torch unattended while operating and allow it to cool completely before storage.
