Hi guys,
I bought a cheap heating torch with the aim of heating some rusty nuts and bolts to help free them up.
The torch has a barbed fitting for the hose and a small knob to control the gas.
I be no idea how to get gas in to it!! Ideally I want to use a camping gas canister with what I think is called an EN417 fitting. Do I need a pressure regulator and if So, what pressure? I've only seen ones for the camping canisters labled as 'low pressure' ~30mbar. Is that okay or do I want a high pressure one like 2-4bar? I can't find any in that pressure range which have the fitting I want.
The hose that came with the torch seems to have a useless fitting. Just a flat connecting face with a washer as screw thread.
