A ready-to-use MAPP gas torch kit
The MAPP Gas and Turbo Blow Torch Pack combines the torch, ignition system and high-temperature fuel needed to begin work in one convenient bundle. The included components are selected to connect directly, removing the uncertainty of choosing an initial cylinder separately.
Once the cylinder is correctly fitted and checked, the integrated Piezo trigger provides fast ignition. The flame-control valve lets the user select an appropriate heat level, and the lock can maintain continuous operation during suitable longer tasks.
The supplied fuel is modern Map-Plus gas, commonly found by customers searching for MAPP gas. Map-Plus is a high-performance alternative intended for compatible MAPP-type equipment; it is not necessarily the same formulation as the original trademarked MAPP fuel.
Built-in Piezo ignition
The Turbo Blow Torch has an integrated Piezo ignition trigger, creating the spark needed to light the gas without a separate ignitor during normal operation. This is particularly convenient for tradespeople moving frequently between fittings and job locations.
Before ignition, point the burner away from yourself, other people, the cylinder and combustible materials. If the torch does not light immediately, close the gas valve and follow the manufacturer’s relighting procedure rather than allowing unburned gas to continue escaping.
Piezo ignition is a convenient lighting feature, not a substitute for correct leak checks or safe working practices.
Adjustable flame control
Use the integrated valve to increase or reduce the gas flow and flame size. This helps match the heat to the material and task rather than applying maximum output automatically.
A smaller, carefully directed flame may be suitable around compact fittings and nearby heat-sensitive surfaces. Greater output may be helpful when working on larger copper pipe, heavier fittings or suitable brazed joints. Begin with the lowest effective setting and heat the component evenly.
Continuous-flame lock
The torch includes a lock control that can maintain the flame without requiring the trigger to be held continuously. This can reduce hand strain during longer operations and make it easier to keep a steady flame.
Engage the lock only when you have a secure grip, a clear work area and full control of the torch. Never put down, pass to another person or leave a lit torch unattended. Release the lock and shut off the gas immediately if the flame becomes unstable or conditions change.
High-temperature Map-Plus gas included
The supplied 453g Map-Plus cylinder has a stated heat output more than 20% higher than propane. Its hotter flame can bring suitable pipework, fittings and metal components to working temperature more quickly, potentially reducing the time spent applying heat.
Map-Plus also offers high burning performance in cold weather. This is useful for outdoor work, garages, plant rooms and unheated properties where propane performance may be less effective.
When combined with oxygen in suitable specialist equipment, Map-Plus can produce a stated flame temperature of up to 2,927°C. This bundle is an air-fuel direct-cylinder torch kit, so the oxygen-assisted figure must not be represented as the normal operating temperature of the included Turbo Blow Torch.
Actual working heat depends on the torch design, flame setting, ambient temperature, cylinder pressure, workpiece and fuel-to-air mixture.
Compatible with Map-Plus and propane
The Turbo Blow Torch uses a CGA 600 connection with a 1″-20 UNEF thread. It is designed for suitable Map-Plus and propane cylinders with that connection, giving users flexibility when purchasing replacement fuel.
Always confirm both the connection and the approved fuel type. A cylinder having the same thread does not automatically mean that it is safe or suitable for every torch. Never force a connection, modify a valve or use an unapproved adaptor.
The included Map-Plus cylinder conforms to European Standard EN 12205 and has a tough, impact-resistant construction. It remains a pressurised gas container and must be handled, transported and stored carefully.
Who is this kit for?
Plumbers and heating engineers
The portable design, quick ignition and controllable flame suit frequent call-outs and installation work. Map-Plus provides additional heat for jobs where standard propane can take longer to bring components to temperature.
Mechanics and maintenance teams
The torch can supply controlled heat for appropriate workshop and maintenance operations. Inspect the area for fuel, oils, batteries, wiring, seals, pressurised parts and flammable vapours before introducing a flame.
Jewellery and metalwork users
Adjustable flame control may suit certain jewellery-making and metalworking tasks. Confirm that the torch output, ventilation, workpiece, solder or filler and flux are appropriate for the intended process.
Competent home users
Experienced users can use the kit for suitable repairs and workshop tasks after reading the instructions and Safety Data Sheet. Appropriate ventilation, protective equipment and fire precautions are essential.
Suitable applications
Soldering copper pipe
The combination of adjustable flame and high-temperature Map-Plus fuel makes the kit suitable for appropriate soft-soldering work on copper pipe and fittings. Move the flame around the joint to apply heat evenly, following the instructions for the fitting, solder and flux.
Brazing suitable joints
The greater heat output can support appropriate brazing work where the torch meets the temperature requirements. Check the parent metals, filler, flux and required joint temperature before starting.
General plumbing and heating work
The direct-cylinder design is compact and portable, making it convenient for installation and repair work where a larger hose-fed system would be awkward.
Heating seized metal components
Carefully applied heat may assist with certain rusted or seized parts. Do not use a torch close to fuel systems, aerosols, pressurised containers, unknown coatings or materials that could ignite or release hazardous fumes.
Thawing frozen pipes
Use a naked flame only where a competent risk assessment shows it is safe and lawful. Never apply the torch to plastic pipe, close to combustible building materials or where the contents and surroundings of the pipe are unknown. Prefer safer non-flame methods where possible.

Safe assembly and operation
The cylinder contains highly flammable pressurised gas, and the torch produces a naked flame. The kit should be used only by a competent adult who has read the torch instructions, cylinder label and Safety Data Sheet.
Before attaching the cylinder:
- Move to a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources and combustible materials.
- Inspect the torch, valve, seal, connection and cylinder for damage or contamination.
- Confirm that the torch valve is closed, the flame lock is disengaged and the equipment is cool.
- Wear appropriate eye, hand and task-specific protective equipment.
- Attach the bottle carefully, aligning the threads without forcing the connection.
- Check for leaks only by the method specified by the manufacturer. Never use flame to find a leak.
During use:
- keep the torch and cylinder in an orientation approved by the manufacturer;
- point the burner away from people, the bottle and combustible surfaces;
- protect walls, floors and concealed materials using appropriate flame-resistant measures;
- apply heat gradually and keep the flame moving where required;
- keep appropriate fire-control equipment close at hand;
- never operate in a confined or poorly ventilated area;
- never leave a lit torch unattended; and
- shut off the gas immediately if operation becomes irregular or unsafe.
After use, release the flame lock, close the valve as instructed and place the torch on a stable, non-combustible surface until it is completely cool. Store the equipment securely in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location away from sunlight, heat, children and unauthorised users.
Do not puncture, refill, incinerate or modify the disposable cylinder. If a leak is suspected, avoid operating electrical switches or creating another ignition source, move to fresh air, ventilate the area if safe and follow the emergency information on the label and Safety Data Sheet.
Delivery and returns
