![]() ![]() The famous "bunsen burner" in your high school chemistry classes used this basic principle of mixing the fuel and air before hand to generate much higher temperatures than you can achieve with a "pencil tip" torch (so named because it doesn't mix the air and the fuel before ignition, and the resulting bright blue flame inside a faint blue flame looks like the sharpened tip of a pencil). That much is a "must", and all the other bells and whistles like a piezoelectric lighter built into the torch is OK to have, but it's really not a necessity like mixing the fuel and air before igniting it. The Torch: You wanna buy a propane torch that mixes the propane with air in a short tube before burning it.

I'm just gonna explain the basics of what you do here because what to do is the easiest part of it. And, he'd tightened that compression fitting so much he was scared that further tightening was gonna do more harm than good, but the leak wouldn't stop. He installed the compression fitting cuz he didn't know how to solder. This post was prompted by a newbie posting a question about fix a leak in a compression fitting he'd installed. ![]()
