Gas ring for glue boiler

About all you will get now is this type of thing.

bes.ltd.uk?

probably designed for LPG use.

Yes, I'll bet there's thousands of them buried in the dust. They're just not showing up on eBay at present.

Thanks yes, good site. There are some relatively fancy looking items under the "Natural gas" heading. I don't yet know if these will do the trick but I'll enquire. The more familiar and traditional looking units are all under the LPG heading. Are these things convertible?

Try looking for an industrial gas burner ring

options yet but there are some there.

Good question. It would be reassuring to know the answer. The options are predominantly LPG for sure.

It's possible there aren't any portable N gas burners now. I suspect H&S will come down on them pretty hard. The days when we could shove one ned of a rubber tube onto a gas ring , the other end onto a gas tap, turn on and light up are long gone.

Not in the lab at my wife's school. Nor on the BES website showing single and multiple outlet tapped gas points for use with the likes of bunsens and gas pokers.

That surprises me. Given the health and safety paranoia it is amazing school pupils are let anywhere near dangerous things like bunsen burners.

And what do meedja studies pupils need bunsen burners for anyway?

I'd guess not: it tends to be the other way round, appliances supplied for NG with conversion nozzles for LPG. Could phone BES and ask though - they're not just box-shifters.

The message from Owain contains these words:

Have a look at

Animal-based glue? (pearl / scotch)

Get an electrically-heated, thermostatically-controlled waterbath. Don't faff about continually wasting time watching a gluepot burning on a gas-ring - it's a damn nuisance to all concerned.

Yes, I know they're =A380 or so for a new one, and nearly the same on eBay. Mine's chem-lab surplus and cost far, far less.
