Windproof lighter Zippo 48492 by Zippo — refillable metal petrol lighter, classic flip-top design

Zippo 48492 is a windproof refillable metal petrol lighter featuring the classic flip-top design. Made by Zippo, this lighter is built for reliable performance in windy conditions and for repeated use. The metal case houses a replaceable flint system and an absorbent cotton reservoir for lighter fluid, allowing straightforward maintenance and long service life when serviced correctly. The flip-top ensures quick one-handed opening and secure closure to reduce fuel evaporation during storage.

Advantages

The lighter offers windproof ignition that maintains a steady flame in outdoor conditions where ordinary lighters may fail. Its refillable design reduces disposable waste and makes the device economical over time. The robust metal construction resists daily wear and provides a solid tactile feel. Replaceable flints and accessible internal components make routine servicing simple and extend the product’s usable life.

Suitable for

• Lighting cigarettes, cigars and pipes
• Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and fishing
• Everyday household tasks like lighting candles or stoves
• Use in windy or breezy conditions where a steady flame is required

Key specifications

• Windproof flame design for reliable ignition in outdoor conditions
• Refillable petrol (lighter fluid) fuel system with absorbent cotton reservoir
• Replaceable flint ignition mechanism

How to use

Open the flip-top lid with one hand and strike the flint wheel to produce a flame. To refill, remove the insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the cotton reservoir and apply a few drops of lighter fluid until the cotton is adequately saturated—avoid overfilling. Replace the felt pad and insert, then close the lid. Replace the flint when ignition becomes inconsistent and trim or replace the wick if the flame is weak or sooty. Allow any spilled fluid to evaporate before ignition.

Usage recommendations

Use only recommended lighter fluid and genuine replacement flints and wicks for safe and reliable operation. Store the lighter away from heat sources and direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children. Perform routine maintenance—refilling, flint replacement and wick trimming—periodically to maintain consistent performance.
