Gas torch YATO YT-36742, 800 mm length, 1.7 kW output, max 1300°C

Handheld gas torch YATO YT-36742 features an 800 mm body and delivers up to 1.7 kW of output with a maximum flame temperature of 1300°C. The torch is designed to provide a concentrated heat source for localized tasks such as soldering, heating, paint removal and thawing frozen pipes. The elongated 800 mm length helps keep the operator at a safer distance from the flame while allowing access to recessed or hard-to-reach areas. The torch works with standard gas cartridges or fittings; check compatibility with your gas source before use.

Advantages

The YATO YT-36742 offers a compact, handheld form factor combined with an extended reach provided by the 800 mm body. Its rated 1.7 kW output and maximum flame temperature of 1300°C deliver sufficient heat for a range of maintenance and repair jobs. The design concentrates heat for precise application, supporting faster task completion while reducing the area affected by high temperatures. The unit’s compatibility with common gas cartridges or fittings simplifies supply and replacement.

Suitable for

• Soldering metal pipes and fittings in plumbing and HVAC work
• Heating components for loosening seized nuts or bolts
• Removing paint or varnish from metal and some wooden surfaces
• Thawing frozen pipes and clearing ice buildup
• Light metalworking tasks that require a concentrated flame

Key specifications

• Body length: 800 mm
• Rated output: 1.7 kW
• Maximum flame temperature: 1300°C
• Handheld torch format for manual operation
• Designed for use with standard gas cartridges or fittings (compatibility to be confirmed)

How to use

Attach the torch to a compatible gas cartridge or fitting following the manufacturer’s instructions for secure connection. Ignite the torch according to the gas supplier’s recommended procedure and adjust the flame to the required intensity for the task. Position the torch so the concentrated flame targets the work area while maintaining a safe distance and steady hand. Move the flame steadily to avoid overheating a single spot; for soldering, heat the joint evenly until solder flows. After use, turn off the gas supply, allow the unit to cool, and store in a dry, ventilated place away from heat sources.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves, eye protection and long sleeves. Ensure adequate ventilation when working indoors and keep flammable materials clear of the work area. Verify compatibility of gas cartridges or fittings before connecting and follow local regulations for handling and storage of gas canisters.
