Bernzomatic 361484 Instant on Off Torch Kit Swirl Flame

Product Description

The BERNZOMATIC 361484 is a two-piece instant on/off torch kit designed for soft soldering and brazing applications in plumbing and general trade work. The kit pairs a swirl flame torch head with a 14.1-ounce MAP-Pro fuel cylinder, delivering the higher flame temperature that MAP-Pro is known for compared to standard propane. The instant on/off valve gives the technician precise flame control, reducing fuel waste between joints. The swirl flame tip promotes even heat distribution around the fitting, which is critical when working copper tube and fittings from 0.25 inches up to 3 inches in diameter.

This kit is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in, repair, and copper tube joining. Plumbers and pipefitters use it for soft solder connections on water supply lines, drain lines, and HVAC refrigerant piping where soft solder is permitted. The included MAP-Pro cylinder means the kit is ready to use out of the box with no additional fuel purchase required at setup. It is also applicable to woodworking and light brazing tasks where a portable, self-contained torch is practical.

Installation Notes

This torch kit is typically used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Always shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before heating any fitting. Keep the flame moving to avoid overheating the fitting or flux, and allow joints to cool completely before restoring pressure. Work in a well-ventilated area and keep flammable materials clear of the work zone.
