High-performance heat in one practical kit
The Super Total Fire blow torch and MAPP gas kit brings together a durable professional-style torch and the fuel needed to begin work. It is a useful choice for plumbers, heating engineers, mechanics, maintenance teams and experienced users who want more control and higher heat than a basic entry-level torch setup.
The torch attaches directly to the included 453g Map-Plus bottle, removing the need to select separate components. Once correctly fitted and checked in accordance with the instructions, the integrated Piezo trigger provides quick ignition and the control valve lets you adjust the flame for the job.
Modern Map-Plus fuel is commonly described and searched for as MAPP gas. It is a high-performance alternative intended for compatible torch equipment; it should not be confused with the original trademarked MAPP formulation.
Durable cast-aluminium torch body
The torch body is made from solid cast aluminium, providing a strong and durable platform for regular work. Its ergonomic stay-cool handle is shaped for a comfortable, secure grip, helping the user maintain control while directing heat around pipework, fittings and other suitable components.
All handheld torches can become hot during operation. “Stay cool” refers to the handle design and does not mean every part of the torch remains cool. Avoid touching the burner tube and nozzle during or immediately after use, and allow the equipment to cool fully before disconnecting or storing it.
Fast Piezo ignition
The built-in Piezo ignition trigger creates the spark needed to light the gas, so there is no need to carry a separate ignitor for normal operation. This makes starting the torch quick and straightforward when moving between jobs.
Always point the burner away from yourself, other people and combustible materials before ignition. If the torch does not light immediately, turn off the gas and follow the manufacturer’s relighting procedure rather than repeatedly allowing unburned gas to escape.
Adjustable and continuous flame control
Use the integrated control valve to increase or reduce the flame according to the task. A smaller, carefully controlled flame can be useful around compact fittings, while greater heat output may be needed for larger pipework or heavier components.
For longer operations, the flame-lock control allows continuous burning without holding the trigger. Use the lock only when you have a stable grip, a clear working area and full control of the torch. Never put down or leave a lit torch unattended.
Supplied with high-temperature Map-Plus Gas
The included 453g Map-Plus cylinder has a stated heat output more than 20% higher than propane. The hotter flame can bring suitable pipe, fittings and components up to working temperature more quickly, helping reduce time spent applying heat.
The gas also offers strong burning performance in colder weather, which is useful for outdoor work and unheated properties. Actual performance will vary with ambient conditions, flame adjustment, cylinder pressure and the task.
When Map-Plus fuel is combined with oxygen using suitable specialist equipment, it can achieve a stated flame temperature of up to 2,927°C. This kit is supplied as a direct-cylinder air-fuel torch, so that oxygen-assisted figure should not be presented as the normal operating temperature of the included setup.
Compatible with Map-Plus and Propane Cylinders
The Super Total Fire torch uses a standard CGA 600 connection with a 1″-20 UNEF thread. It is designed for compatible Map-Plus and propane cylinders using that connection, allowing you to choose the fuel best suited to the task.
A matching thread does not necessarily mean every cylinder is approved for the torch. Check the fuel type, connection, cylinder condition and manufacturer’s instructions before fitting a replacement. Never use an unapproved adaptor or force a connection.
Suitable applications
Soldering copper pipe
The kit provides concentrated heat for suitable soft-soldering work on copper pipe and fittings. Adjust the flame to heat the joint evenly without overheating the tube, flux or nearby surfaces.
Brazing
Map-Plus fuel makes the torch a useful option for suitable brazing applications requiring more heat than routine propane work. Confirm that the torch output, parent metals, filler and flux are appropriate before beginning.
General plumbing and heating work
The compact direct-cylinder format is easy to move between installations and repair jobs. It is particularly useful where access is limited and a larger hose-fed setup would be inconvenient.
Heating seized components
Controlled heat may help release certain rusted or seized metal components. Check for seals, finishes, fuel residues, wiring and other heat-sensitive materials before applying a flame.
Thawing frozen pipes
Only use a naked flame where it is safe, lawful and appropriate. Never apply flame to plastic pipe, near combustible building materials or where the contents and surroundings of the pipe are uncertain. Safer non-flame methods should be used whenever the risk assessment calls for them.
Workshop and mechanical tasks
The controllable flame can support appropriate maintenance and heat-treatment work. Professional judgement and suitable protective measures remain essential, especially around vehicles, lubricants, batteries and flammable vapours.
Why choose the bundle
Buying the torch and cylinder together removes uncertainty over the initial fuel connection and gives new users a complete starting combination. At the current listed prices, the bundle also compares favourably with purchasing the £39.99 torch and £8.99 single cylinder separately:
- Current separate total: £48.98
- Current bundle price: £46.99
- Current saving: £1.99
These figures should be calculated dynamically from the live Shopify prices so the saving remains accurate after a price update.
Safe assembly and operation
This kit uses highly flammable pressurised gas and a naked flame. It should be operated only by a competent adult who has read the product label, torch instructions and Safety Data Sheet.
Before use:
- Work in a well-ventilated area away from combustible materials and ignition sources.
- Inspect the torch, seals, thread, valve and cylinder for damage or contamination.
- Confirm that the torch control is off and the equipment is cool.
- Wear suitable eye, hand and task-specific protective equipment.
- Attach the cylinder carefully without forcing or cross-threading it.
- Check for leaks using only the method specified by the manufacturer. Never use a flame for leak testing.
During use:
- maintain control of the torch and keep the cylinder in an approved orientation;
- point the nozzle away from people, the gas bottle and combustible surfaces;
- protect adjacent materials with suitable flame-resistant measures;
- keep appropriate fire-control equipment nearby;
- never use the torch in a confined or poorly ventilated space;
- do not leave the flame unattended; and
- turn the torch off immediately if operation becomes irregular or unsafe.
After use, shut off the gas as instructed and place the equipment on a stable, non-combustible surface until completely cool. Store the torch and cylinder securely away from heat, direct sunlight, children and unauthorised users.
Do not puncture, incinerate, refill or modify the disposable cylinder. If you suspect a leak, avoid electrical switches and other ignition sources, move to fresh air, ventilate the area if safe and follow the emergency instructions on the label and Safety Data Sheet.
Delivery and returns
Gas cylinders are dangerous goods for transport and must travel through an appropriate delivery service. Delivery options may differ from ordinary parcels and may not be available to every postcode.
PipeStation currently offers free UK delivery on eligible orders over £20, so this kit qualifies based on its present price. The service and timeframe displayed at checkout are authoritative for the delivery address.
Do not return the supplied cylinder through an ordinary postal service. Contact PipeStation before arranging a return so the correct process can be followed. A torch suspected of being faulty should not be tested repeatedly with gas; stop using it and retain all parts safely while return arrangements are confirmed.
