I meant the plastic mouldings used with canister & torch. I don't have the torch but my mate dropped his, snapped the base and can't stand it up safely now.

Also what is 'Mapp Gas'?
extract from
Only acetylene, hydrogen and MAPP have sufficiently high flame temperature for underwater cutting. But as acetylene has a limited outlet pressure, MAPP is the only gas other than hydrogen that can be used for cutting in deep water."
Never used it, but seems popular with many. If I solder (rather than pushfit) my impending CH, it looks worth investigating
Interested to hear about the Javac torch.

I have quite a selection, a couple of Coleman torches and two Bernzomatic ones. One of the Bernzomatics uses oxygen but it's rather a waste of time because the O2 only lasts about five minutes. The other is a "swirl" type torc and good for all fittings up to 28mm. I've not tried it on anythign bigger. Buy an oxyacetylene flint striker for use with the torch it makes lighting it a doddle.

Go to your local Calor Centre and get a Calor 2000. Works a treat.

Thanks for the advice all of you. I'll be returning to the UK tomorrow so if I get one of these Javac torches I'll feedback
Cheers
