Bernzomatic 368374 Brass Torch Kit Pencil Flame Propane

Product Description

The BERNZOMATIC 368374 is a 2-piece brass torch kit designed for propane-fueled soft soldering on copper pipe and fittings. The kit includes a pencil flame tip that concentrates heat for controlled, precise soldering work. It handles soft solder joints ranging from 1/8 inch up to 3/4 inch pipe diameter, covering the most common residential and light commercial plumbing sizes. The brass construction provides durability and reliable heat transfer through the torch body. Plumbers and pipefitters reach for this kit when sweating copper lines for water supply, hydronic heating, or refrigeration service where soft solder is the specified joining method.

This torch kit is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations and repair work. It is most commonly used when sweating 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch copper fittings with soft solder alloys. The pencil flame tip makes it practical for working in tight spaces such as wall cavities, mechanical chases, and under-sink areas where a broad flame would create excessive heat spread. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians installing copper refrigerant or water lines are the primary users of this kit.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Always shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before heating any joint. Keep the flame moving to avoid overheating fittings, and allow joints to cool before handling or restoring water pressure. Use appropriate fire-blocking materials when working near combustible framing or insulation.
