Butane Lighter Insert Zippo 65816 — yellow flame refillable insert for Zippo lighter cases

Zippo 65816 is a refillable butane lighter insert designed to fit into compatible Zippo lighter cases, providing a yellow flame alternative to standard petrol-based inserts. Engineered to replace the original insert, this module enables the use of butane fuel while maintaining the familiar Zippo case look and feel. The insert is suitable for everyday lighting tasks and outdoor use where a stable, wind-resistant yellow flame is preferred.

Advantages

The butane insert offers consistent ignition and a controllable yellow flame that is easy to light and adjust. Its refillable design reduces the need for replacement inserts and allows convenient top-ups with standard butane canisters. Installation into compatible Zippo housings is straightforward, and the insert preserves the external appearance of the original lighter case while changing fuel type and flame characteristics.

Suitable for

• Lighting cigarettes, cigars and pipes
• Outdoor activities where a wind-resistant flame is needed
• Everyday household tasks such as lighting candles and stoves
• Users who prefer butane fuel over liquid lighter fluid

Key specifications

• Fuel type: refillable with butane
• Flame colour: yellow
• Compatibility: designed to fit standard Zippo lighter cases
• Ignition: built-in ignition mechanism compatible with insert design
• Refill method: direct refill into the insert from standard butane canisters

How to use

To install, remove the existing insert from the Zippo case and push the butane insert into place until it seats securely. Adjust the flame height using the control on the insert as needed, following the manufacturer’s markings if present. Refill the insert with high-quality butane by inverting the canister and pressing the nozzle into the refill valve; allow a few minutes for any excess gas to dissipate before igniting. Maintain normal safety precautions when handling fuel and igniting the lighter.

Usage recommendations

Use clean, high-purity butane to avoid clogging the ignition system; perform refills in a well-ventilated area away from open flame. Periodically check and adjust flame height to ensure reliable ignition and avoid prolonged exposure of the insert to high winds or moisture to extend service life.
