uses propane, natural gas, or hydrogen with oxygen to create a wide range of flame characteristics for flameworking applications.

Surface Mixed:
The WildCat Burner is surface mixed. Surface mixed burners deliver the gas and oxygen to the face separately so that the mixing of gases happens as they exit the burner face. This produces a safe flame for working with most flameworking applications. Surface mixed burners have a much lowered possibility for combustion to take place inside of the burner (this is commonly known as Flashback) since the gas and oxygen are not mixed until they exit the burner. However, certain conditions (such as an internal leak) could cause a Flashback to occur. It is always recommended to use flashback safety devices (i.e. flashback arrestors or fire checks) with any flameworking system.

Control Valves:
Standard models require two valves which are, located on the back of the WildCat Burner.
Vortex Cooling Feature:
Built into the end of the WildCat burner is the Vortex cooling feature. This feature uses pressurized oxygen from the oxygen manifold to inspirate atmospheric air through the collar at the end of the burner. The mixture of oxygen and air both support the flame and cool the end of the burner. The more oxygen used, the more effective this cooling feature becomes. If the WildCat is found to be overheating, inspect the cooling features porting to ensure that there are no blockages.
Flame Atmospheres:
The WildCat has a very unique flame. Please note that based on the operator's prior burner experience, the flame settings may not look or sound as expected. The unique flame properties of the torch demonstrate superior performance. As such, until the operator becomes familiar with these unique properties, he/she should test out reactions with glass to determine whether the flame is reducing, neutral, or oxidizing.
Soft Glass: (COE 90 and higher)
For use with soft glass, Carlisle recommends a candle or focal length of 3/8". On a neutral setting, this will present a flame that is very hot and provides radiant heat around the flame. This radiant heat lessens the frequency of glass fractures due to temperature changes while moving in and out of the flame.
Hard Glass (aka Borosilicate COE 33):
For use with hard glass, Carlisle recommends a candle or focal length of 3/4". Please note that a neutral setting of this flame may produce orange tips on the candles. However, as long as the candles are all the same length, this should not produce reduction on borosilicate colors.
Oxygen Use:
Once a Neutral flame is achieved, adding more oxygen will produce the Oxidizing flame. An oxidizing flame will make a more narrow flame pattern that can be used for more delicate work. It is important to note that the extra oxygen also has a cooling effect in the flame and will lower the heat potential.

Gas Regulators
Two regulators are required when you use a two gas, (oxygen and propane) torch. They fit between the gas tanks and the gas hose. None are needed if you are using the Hot Head torch. Oxygen Regulator is not needed if you are using an Oxygen Concentrator.| Item# | 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.
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.)

Y - Connectors for Hose
Y Connector -
Connect this fitting at the output of the regulator and attach two hoses so you can use two torches from the same tank.
Oxygen and propane Y are packaged and priced separately.Y Connector with valves - Same as the Y connector described above except has two on/off valves, one for each hose.
* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and is more commonly used.
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.
Note: Flashback arrestors have an arrow stamped on it to indicate the gas flow direction.
Works in only one direction.
A2 optional,
not always need and are not included.* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and is more commonly used. Requires B size fittings on hose.

Pictured with a Minor Burner not included.

Dimensions are usually close but can vary a bit - plus or minus a 1/2" or so.
Accessories pictured not included.
Glass Rod RestsThis movable rod rest is used to support glass rods to keep them up off the flame worker's workbench for easier grabbing, better organization, and to keep the glass rods cleaner. The rippled edge keeps the rods from rolling around. These durable stainless steel rod holders can also be placed inside a glass bead kiln to support your mandrels.

Difference between standard and tall rod rests.
