|  MAPP torch??
Will a MAPP self ignite torch burn hot enough to braze steel brake line tubing with pre-fluxed brass brazing rods? DC I've been told it won't, I have a regular blue bottle propane torch and it won't get hot enough. |

At over 5 bucks per oxygen cylinder, its getting pretty pricey might quick!!!! Thats why I was wondering if the MAPP torches did the job. That way I would only have to buy one canister to work with. DC | |

Just mapp gas will work, but the oxygen helps. Think of solder with a 60w iron verses a 100w iron. Not a big deal, but the money you pump into oxygen alone will add up. I have been asking a ton of these questions lately. I obviously want to build a tuber, but I don't want to keep buying oxygen either. Welders cost to much so I will probly just use the mapp torch I use to sweat copper. I don't think propane would come close enough heat wise to braise steel, but it might do aluminum. Let me know how it works out for you.

The benzomatic self ignite torch works fine. It'll be easier if you use silver solder instead of brass rods. It melts at a lower temp and flows better, giving you cleaner looking joints. with Brass Brazing Rods  with Silver Solder  http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...es/ebay506.jpg Both made w/a Mapp torch. |
