Brazing + Soldering Torch Selection — Quick Reference
Brazing + soldering torches = HANDHELD GAS-FUELLED tools for joining COPPER TUBE + brazing metal fittings + lead-free soldering. Refrigeration + plumbing + automotive + workshop standard.
| Torch Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| MAPP Gas Torch | Higher temperature — silver brazing + copper |
| Propane Torch | Soldering + light brazing |
| Oxy-Acetylene Torch | See gas welding equipment |
| Butane Soldering Torch (Pencil) | Precision electronics + jewellery |
| Self-Lighting Torch | Built-in piezo igniter |
| Refrigeration Torch Kit | HVAC + AC service complete kit |
| Brazing Rods (Silver / Copper) | Joining filler material |
| Flux (Brazing / Soldering) | Joint cleaning + flow |
Critical: Brazing temperature 600-900°C; soldering <450°C. Match FILLER MATERIAL + FLUX to base metal + temperature. Ventilate work area + PPE — gloves + eye protection. Brand: brazing + soldering torches. Companion: gas welding equipment, soldering, filler metals.
Join Copper Tube and Braze Metal Fittings with Professional Gas Torches
Brazing and soldering torches are handheld gas-fuelled heat sources used to join copper tube and fittings, braze dissimilar metals, heat-shrink connections, anneal metal, and perform localised heating tasks in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, automotive and general metalworking.
Brazing (using filler metal above 450°C) produces a stronger joint than soft soldering and is used for structural connections, hydraulic fittings and high-pressure copper systems.
Soft soldering (below 450°C) is used for electrical connections and lower-pressure plumbing.
The torch gas type (propane, butane or MAP gas) determines the flame temperature and heat output available.
We sells brazing and soldering torches from Garrick, Bossweld and Tanjant — welding, gas equipment and industrial tool brands supplying plumbers, HVAC technicians, fabricators and industrial tradespeople across Australia.

Choosing the Right Brazing or Soldering Torch
Torch selection depends on the gas type, the flame temperature required for the application and the work environment.
- Propane vs MAP Gas: Propane torches reach temperatures adequate for most soft soldering and light copper brazing applications and use readily available LPG cylinders. MAP gas (methylacetylene-propadiene) burns hotter than propane and is the preferred choice for brazing copper tube with silver-based brazing alloys, providing faster heat input and cleaner joints on larger-diameter tube.
- Brazing vs Soft Soldering: Soft solder (tin-lead or lead-free) flows at temperatures achievable with a standard propane torch and is used for low-pressure and electrical applications. Brazing filler metals (silver alloys, copper-phosphorous) require higher temperatures and produce joints with significantly higher strength, required for refrigeration, HVAC and high-pressure copper systems.
