FAQs
What type of gas does this torch use?
This Sealey MAPP Gas Torch is compatible with Sealey Mapp Gas (MAPP/400) and standard propane gas bottles. Please note that gas cylinders are sold separately.
How do I activate the auto-start ignition?
To activate the auto-start ignition, ensure the gas is flowing by slightly opening the side valve, then press the ignition button. The flame should ignite instantly.
Can I use this torch upside down?
Yes, the Sealey MAPP Gas Torch features stable flame technology which allows it to maintain a consistent flame even when tilted or inverted.
How do I adjust the flame size?
The flame size can be precisely controlled using the side valve adjustment. Turn it to increase or decrease the gas flow and thus the flame intensity.
What is the benefit of the auto flame lock?
The auto flame lock feature allows the flame to remain lit continuously after ignition, without needing to hold down a trigger. This reduces user fatigue during prolonged tasks.
How should I store the torch?
After use, turn off the gas at the cylinder, release residual gas from the torch, and let it cool completely. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
Is a gas cylinder included with the torch?
No, gas cylinders are not included with the Sealey MAPP Gas Torch and must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Torch does not ignite
Check that the gas cylinder is properly connected and has sufficient gas. Ensure the side valve is slightly open. Clean the ignition tip if it appears dirty.
Flame is weak or sputtering
Verify the gas cylinder is not empty. Check for blockages in the nozzle or gas line. Ensure the side valve is adjusted correctly.
Gas leaks from connection point
Turn off the gas supply immediately. Ensure the connection between the torch and cylinder is tight and that any seals are intact. Do not use if leaks persist.
Auto flame lock not engaging
Ensure the torch is held at the correct angle for ignition and that the valve is opened sufficiently. Some debris may be obstructing the mechanism; attempt to clear it gently.
