What in your valuable opinion is the best torch and gas for 15 and 22mm copper?

Some like to blitz their joints with MAPP, but for me, propane is plenty hot enough for 15 and 22mm.

Mines still going strong after a couple of years.
I quite like it's novelty value in that no-one else at my firm has got one!
Mind you it'll never catch up with me old primus one that I've had for over forty years and I still keep it as a spare.

Superfire 2 & any gas I’ve used both but on the blue at the moment I can’t really tell much difference |

I've never used propane - always mapp (except when I tried camping gas 10 years ago haha)
I wonder is mapp slightly safer because if you can get your job done quicker there is less chance of collateral damage? (Obviously I use mats but could still happen) ?

The mob I work for supply Primus 2000 gas bottles, but they’re going onto Blue MAPP gas bottles 👍 I don’t mind either MAPP yellow or Propane. 15/22mm are easy enough to solder up. |
