Rothenberger MAPP Gas Cylinder 400gms

Product Information

Nothing from Rothenberger is “cheap”. But, that’s not their focus with any product they offer — their products are all about NOT letting you down and standing the test of time.

At my time working in a plumbing merchant, we sold a tonne of tools from Monument with no complaints. So, this is where I’d be heading if I wanted something cheap, but not “imported from who-knows where” cheap.

That means high levels of heat concentration, which makes your soldering work easy and consistent. Angled SolderingHere we’ve got another entry from Rothenberger. This one’s far more affordable, AND it has some of the same features as its pricier counterpart, the Superfire 2. That said, we’ll be upfront with you about its single major downside — there’s no way to regulate the flame as it’s pre-set. Torch Only Firstly, just our tests have shown, other buyers haven’t experienced issues with angled soldering using this blow torch. The burn tube is made from heavy duty stainless steel and accepts a range of gas cylinders. We loved how the stainless steel is tough enough to prevent any form of gas leakage if it’s dropped, so it’s much safer than the cheaper untested soldering torches on the market.

The Superfire 2 blow torch has been designed specifically for plumbers as well as heating and gas engineers. But it’s also suitable for air conditioning and refrigeration professionals. Weight And to be able to be precisely solder 8mm one day and 54mm the next, you’ll need a highly sensitive adjustable flame…which is exactly what the Super Fire 2 has. Price In our tests, the pressure was consistent enough that we could use this blow torch for angled and even inverted soldering without issues. Ignition Soldering at angles isn’t exactly good on your joints, and this is again where the ergonomics of the Monument Tools gas torch comes into its own. Ignition

Using the Piezo ignition, you’ll then be able to adjust the turbine flame to make it super-concentrated. This will make soldering copper joints of all sizes no problem at all. Just like its more expensive cousin — the Superfire 2 — this gas torch has instant Piezo ignition, so you needn’t worry about digging around for your lighter to get the fire going. We noticed that on occasion it took 2-3 attempts to ignite, but never more than that. Gas Type

We had no trouble getting a sufficiently high temperature with its constant swirl flame. The only problem you may encounter is when you need lower temperature for specific tasks — that’s because you can’t control the flame intensity. Ignition We were quite happy with the automatic ignition, which usually worked on the first or second attempt. Gas Type

5 Best Plumbers Blow Torch Models in 2023

Much like the 2 models above, this plumbers blow torch from Bernzomatic is a torch-only; you’ll have to buy the gas separately. Temperature Concentration Weight – the Superfire 2 torch weighs under 700g. if you spend a lot of your time soldering you do not want to handle a torch that is incredibly heavy. Rothenberger used the base of the original Super Fire, and then made it MUCH better, to come up with the Super Fire 2.
