Minor Bench Burner
for Glass Lampworkers, Glass Beadmakers,
Making Marbles and Buttons and for Glassblowers
The Minor Bench Burner by Nortel. The best known low cost torch that uses two gases: oxygen and propane. By pumping oxygen into the torch, the flame is much hotter. This makes a quieter, smaller and more pointed torch flame which allows you to do more detailed work with a faster and hotter flame. Only $139 when purchased with one of our 3 kits.

Gas Regulators
Two regulators are required when you use a two gas, (oxygen and propane) torch like a Minor Burner.
They fit between the gas tanks and the gas hose.
None are needed if you are using the Hot Head torch.Click Here for an important choice you need to make
| Item# | Gas | Description | Price |

Gas Hoses
Use this
hose when you use a two gas torch (oxygen and propane) like a Minor Burner.
To attach torch, push the cut ends onto the torch and secure with a hose clamp. These
hoses have two attached hoses, one for oxygen and one for propane. The brass end
of the hoses are attached to the gas regulators. Propane hose fittings are left handed threads and colored red and oxygen is right handed
and colored green - This prevents a mix-up when attaching hoses. 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. Hose ends have female brass fittings.
| 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 immerse the end of the hose in very hot water to soften the end.)
Order # |
Length | Ends of hose - hose diameter | Price |
| T128 | 12 ft (3.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting one side and cut end of hose other side - 3/8" diameter hose | $29.50 |
| T258 | 25 ft (7.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting on both ends - 3/8" diameter hose | $52.00 |

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 by using a reverse flow check valve and a flame arrestor.
Packaged and priced with both an oxygen and a propane arrestor.
| Item# | Description | Output end is a | Input end is a | 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. |
