Colleges, museums, art centers and similar large facilities may have many torches for classes or open torch time. Some glass artists use powerful torches that require a lot of fuel gas such as a GTT Delta Cobra, Viper, Carlisle CC++ and similar torches.

How does a Torch Booster work?

Both systems connect to your low-pressure utility natural gas pipe and boost pressure high enough to make gas flow through the flashback arrestor check valve and give you a hot flame on the torch.

 

Turn the Torch Booster on in the morning and off at the end of the day and that is all you need to do. Torch Boosters automatically supply the right amount of natural gas - you don’t need to adjust it during the day.

 

TB-250 and TB-500 systems boost utility natural gas to 45 psi then use a

regulator to lower pressure to the right setting for your torch. TB-250 supplies up to 300 cubic feet of natural gas per hour; TB-500 supplies up to 500 cubic feet of natural gas per hour.

 

How big is a Torch Booster?

TB-250 and TB-500 Torch Boosters are 28 “ wide, 20” tall and 24” deep.

TB-250 weighs 175 lbs; TB-500 weighs 285 lb.

 

Both systems require 208V single phase 30 amp electrical service.

Both systems require a 1 1/2” utility natural gas supply pipe.
