A digital manometer is used to detect gas leaks and faults in air conditioning systems. It can also be used for monitoring and maintaining HVAC systems and gas pressure in piping and compressor systems. Read more

Empty disposable gas cylinders can be dropped off at your local hazardous waste facility which you can find on Recycling Near You (we recommend contacting to see if they accept your type of gas cylinder). Read our full gas cylinder disposable guide here

The Oxyset (1811167-2) can be used to braze copper pipes up to 1.5″ (38mm) in diameter. Whilst oxy-acetylene produces a higher flame temperature, oxy-map produces a high flame temperature suitable for many brazing applications. Due to its compact size and weight, the Oxyset is an ideal companion for plumbers, gas-fitters and HVAC technicians.

As the highest-pressure disposable cylinder in the market, Bromic 1L Oxygen Disposable Cylinder provides more gas in a compact cylinder. When used with the Oxyset tip #1 and Map//Pro gas, the Bromic 1L Oxygen Disposable Cylinder allows roughly 45 minutes of run time. Actual consumption rates may differ depending on the user and settings.

The OXYSET (1811167-2) is fuelled by a disposable oxygen cylinder (T-PED approval number 0036) and
a disposable MAP//Pro cylinder (complying with DOT39). We recommend using Bromic oxygen
cylinders (P/N 1811320) and BernzOmatic MAP//Pro cylinders (P/N 1811120).

Each torch is catered to different applications – you’ll want to compare based on:

• Flame Type – How do you plan to use your torch? Our range of torches can produce a variety of different-sized and shaped flames for your application
• Fuel/Gas Type – How much heat do you need or what metals are you heating? Different gases produce different levels of heat. You’ll need to select a torch that can be used with a gas type suitable for your needs
• Handle Type and Length – A variety of handle types and torch lengths are available for ergonomic preference – including torches attached to a hose
• Other features – Some torches include extra benefits such as interchangeable nozzles. Read our product specifications and descriptions to discover what makes each of our torches unique

Whilst Loxeal 18-10 is designed for medium-pressure gas applications, Loxeal 58-11 is designed for high-pressure gas and water applications.

Data stated is as tested on Bolt M 10×20 – quality 8.8. – Nut h – 0.8d.

Thread-sealing compounds are usually solvent-based and work by hardening as the solvent evaporates. As solvent-based thread-sealing compounds present a risk of shrinking and cracking over time, they are best for sealing threads in maintenance applications where a permanent rigid bond is not essential.

Anaerobic thread sealants are high-performance sealants that only cure when oxygen is expelled. Anaerobic thread sealants such as Loxeal 58-11 are ideal for sealing permanent fixtures in commercial applications.

SUPA-SEAL P.T.F.E Thread Seal Tapes, Loxeal Thread Sealants and LA-CO T-O-T and Slic-tite® Thread Sealing Compound can be used to seal pipes containing Natural Gas or LPG (propane).

A liquid thread sealant or thread-sealing compound is recommended when sealing larger-diameter pipelines. For high-strength sealing on permanent structures, it’s important to use a high-performance thread sealant such as the Loxeal®58-11. The Loxeal®58-11 is not only AGA-approved for use with gas, it is also WaterMark-approved for use with potable water.

Manual changeover and automatic changeover dual-stage gas regulators are used for multi-LPG cylinder setups.

Once one LPG cylinder runs out, an automatic changeover regulator will automatically switch from using one gas cylinder to another. For manual changeover regulators, the user will need to manually reset the valve after the first gas cylinder runs out.

Manual Changeover Gas Regulators

• PRO: Less likely to end up with two empty gas cylinders
• CON: Have to pause gas usage to manually go outside to switch the gas cylinder

Automatic Changeover Gas Regulators

• PRO: Switches cylinder when 1 runs out, without having to pause gas usage
• CON: Need to routinely inspect the gas regular indicator to ensure the gas bottles are not empty. This must be done up to every month, depending on gas usage

To suit your preferences, Bromic supplies both automatic and manual changeover gas regulators.
