S.S. Minnow Torch
for Glass Lampworkers, Beadmakers,
Flameworkers, Glassblowers and Marblemakers
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 Minnow’s 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 Minnow’s 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, it’s 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.
| Item # | Length | Ends of hose - hose diameter | Price |
| T124 | 12 ft (3.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting one side and cut end of hose other side 1/4" diameter hose |

| T254 | 25 ft (7.7 meters) | Female "B" fitting on both ends 1/4" diameter hose |

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.)

Leak Detection Fluid
| Item# | Description | Price |
 LT100 |
Leak Detection Fluid 4oz bottle A must if you assemble your gas equipment. Use when connecting gas hoses, regulators, torches, flashback arrestors, quick connects, etc. After tightening your fittings, pressurize your gas line. Then dribble a few drops on every fitting. If there is a leak, you will see bubbles at the leaky fitting. You may hear about using soap to check for leaks. It is VERY DANGEROUS! Many soaps have oil in it and oil + pressurized oxygen can be very dangerous. Google it! This liquid is specially formulated just for this purpose and is the only liquid you should use for checking gas leaks. |
