Bulk fuel is essentially the kit that allows you to run a Hot Head torch off a bulk cylinder of propane gas.

Propane gas is readily available from garages, garden centres and camping shops and is significantly cheaper than MAPP gas.

A bulk fuel kit will consist of the following components.

  • A propane regulator, generally 4 bar, let his connects directly onto the top of the propane cylinder
  • A flashback arrest or
  • Some hosing, generally an orange colour
  • A connector to connect the hose to the torch.

Optionally, the following kit may also be used

  • A quick release connector that allows the Hot Head to be fixed to a work bench, and the propane cylinder to be easily removed at the end of a torch session.
