Sievert Pro 86 Jewellers Gas Blow Torch

[Goldsmith]

I'm about to start using this torch; my workshop (was supposed to be a dining room in our new house, but I've claimed it as my own!) is on the ground floor and am planning to sit my tank outside on the garden just by the window for extra safety. I have the windows open for venitlation anyway so no great hardship.

One piece of information to remember is that propane is heavier than air so if the propane leaks from your screw fittings of the cylinder, the gas drops to the floor rather than rising to leave via the open window.

Yes, I am going to leave the gas cylinder outside in case of leaks, so it would dissipate in open air. Saw a good tip on you tube about putting diluted liquid soap around all joints to spot any leaks.

[Beadjoux]

Sounds like good advice.

[Beadjoux]

Yes, I think I will do the same after reading more posts. Thank you!

Remmeber it is not only the cylinder that can leak there are conections and valves on the hand piece as well

Yes, every connection needs to be checked, right from the tip of the torch down to the regulator connecting to the cylinder. Very safety conscious. ��
