What is the right Natural Gas Torch Booster for my studio?

If you use a mid sized torch such as the Nortel Mid-Range, GTT Sidewinder, Phantom, Bethlehem Barracuda, Bravo, Wildcat or similar torch then the TB-30 Torch Booster is the right system for you. If your plans include a larger torch in the future then consider a TB-60 or larger G-TEC system now.

 

How does a Natural Gas Torch Booster work?

TB-30 Torch Boosters connect to your low-pressure utility natural gas pipe and boost pressure to get the best performance from your torch. Most lamp working artists prefer fuel gas pressure at 5 - 10 psi but utility gas pressure is often less than 1 psi and the flame is weak.

 

Turn the Torch Booster on when you begin work and off when you are done and that is all you need to do. Torch Boosters automatically supply the right amount of natural gas - you don’t need to adjust or turn it off and on between tasks.

 

Torch Boosters are quiet and can be installed right next to your bench.

 

TB-30 boosts utility natural gas to 25 psi then use a regulator to lower pressure to exactly where you want it. Most torches are designed to work best at 5 psi but with a TB-15 you can set pressure anywhere between 1 to 25 psi. TB-30 supplies up to 40 cubic feet of gas per hour.

 

How big is a Torch Booster?

TB-30 is compact; 12” wide, 12” tall and

16” deep and it weighs about 50 lbs.

 

TB-30 Torch Booster uses 120V 15 amp

electrical power and connects to a 1/2” utility

natural gas pipe.
