The S.S. Minnow Burner by Bethlehem
$195
The new S.S. Minnow Burner redefines torch flame technology. Its unique design replaces the use of bundled tubes, which has been the industry standard for decades. The Minnow delivers perfectly separated fuels to the burner face via precision holes drilled into a solid stainless steel body, resulting in the most advanced flame for glass working ever produced!
The Minnow was designed for the entry-level beadmaker, yet its unique flame characteristics will cause experts to proclaim that the Minnow is the ultimate beadmaking torch. From a small pinpoint for detailed work, to a long hot flame that will thoroughly heat hefty glass rods, the Minnows flame range is truly phenomenal!
Since it is surface mixed, the flashbacks commonly associated with premixed burners are eliminated. Flame adjustments are easily made by gradually turning our stay-cool knobs. Oxidizing, neutral or reducing, the Minnows flame features full, efficient combustion, and will not distort, even in the hands of the novice.
And the best part? The S.S. Minnow Burner is not only powerful and efficient, its also ECONOMICAL! With an initial list price under $200.00, this is truly a bargain for such a precision burner. Order yours today!

Gas Hoses

Use this hose when you use a two gas torch (oxygen and propane). To attach torch, push the cut ends onto the torch and secure with a hose clamp. These are twin hose sets, one for oxygen and one for propane. The brass end of the hoses are attached to the gas regulators. Propane hose fittings are left handed threads and colored red and oxygen is right handed and colored green - This prevents a mix-up when attaching hoses.
CAUTION Do not use the easy to find oxygen/acetylene type hoses. The propane gas will rot them. The hoses we sell are made for all types of gas including propane. Hose ends have female brass fittings.
The below larger diameter hose is only used if when you need a large hose to fit over the large inlet fittings on some torches. (You can get the smaller 1/4" hose listed above on these large inlet fittings with a bit of effort. A trick is to immerse the end of the hose in very hot water to soften the end.)
Y - Connectors for Hose

Y Connector - Connect this fitting at the output of the regulator and attach two hoses so you can use two torches from the same tank. Oxygen and propane Y are packaged and priced separately.
Y Connector with valves - Same as the Y connector described above except has two on/off valves, one for each hose.
* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and is more commonly used.

Flashback Arrestors

In some rare situations, a flame can travel back down a hose to the gas tank and cause an explosion.
This device helps prevent this reverse gas flow and flashback by using a reverse flow check valve and a flame arrestor.
