Major Bench Burner
with Premix and Accessories
for Flameworkers, Lampworkers, Glassblowers, Marblemakers, Beadmakers
The Major Bench Burner with premix by Nortel. This torch is really two torches in one with two independent sets of valves. The torch on top is a smaller premix torch. The tip can be changed from a single pinpoint flame to a bushier 31 hole tip. This premix is ideal for working borasilica (Pyrex) glass. The large bushy flame torch on the bottom is a surface mix. Two completely different sets of oxygen and gas valves allow you to control each flame independent of each other.
You need the following equipment to use this torch:

We also sell a Major Burner Torch with the top as a surface Mix flame. Surface Mix flames work for all types of glass; hard or soft, sodalime or borosilica, Effetre/Moretti or Pyrex, everything.
The Pre-Mix flames only work with the Borosilica (Pyrex, Hard) glass but works the glass faster than with a surface mix flame.

Use this gas hose when you use a two gas torch (oxygen and propane) like a Minor Burner. Most torches are attached to the hose by pushing the cut end (no brass fitting) on to the torch and securing with a hose clamp. These hoses have two attached hoses, one for oxygen and one for propane. The end of the hoses are attached to the gas regulators. Propane hose fittings are always left handed threads and oxygen is right handed so there is never a mixup attaching hoses. The green hose is oxygen and propane is red. CAUTION Do not use the easy to find oxygen/acetylene type hoses. The propane gas will rot them. The hoses we sell are made for all types of gas including propane. All hose endings have brass fittings and are female. The fastest way to order any of these items is to call us toll free at 1-888-4HOTGLASS
| Item# | Length | Ends of hose - hose diameter | Price |
| T124 | 12 ft (3.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting one side and cut end of hose other side - 1/4" diameter hose | $22.00 |
| T254 | 25 ft (7.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting on both ends - 1/4" diameter hose | $34.00 |
The below larger diameter hose is only used if when you need a large hose to fit over the large inlet fittings on some torches. (You can get the smaller 1/4" hose listed above on these large inlet fittings with a bit of effort. A trick is to emerse the end of the hose in very hot water to soften the end.)

Flashback Arrestors
Flashback Arrestors -
In some rare situations, a flame can travel back down a hose to the gas tank and cause an explosion.
This device helps prevent this reverse gas flow and flashback.
This device uses a reverse flow check valve and a flame arrestor that stops this flashback flame.
Packaged and priced with both an oxygen and a propane arrestor.
A2 is optional, not included.
| Item# | Description | Output end is a | Input end is a | List Price |
| FA10 | Flashback arrestors (pair of oxygen and fuel gas) Connects directly to the fittings on a torch like the 3AB, 8M and Carlisle. We also include the fitting so you can put this arrestor in the middle of your twin hose. A good place to put this arrestor is a couple feet away from the torch. If you cut the hose you will not have fittings on the ends. Then must order one or two pair of A2 fittings for $5.00 to connect to arrestor. |
