The Universal Hand Torch is manufactured of brass with chrome plating for the nozzle, feed tubes, and valve body. Red and green anodized aluminum valve handles are standard. The mixing of gases takes place inside the torch body, enhanced by the carburetor unit. The Universal is balanced to allow a comfortable grip and still afford ease of movement. Carlisle also offers the option of an ergonomic wooden handle that encases the feed tubes. The Universal Hand Torch can be used with natural gas, propane, or mixed gas and air or oxygen. The torch is available with either a 1/4” Nozzle (1/4”- 28M thread) or a 3/8” Nozzle (3/8”-32M thread), which are interchangeable. Both can be used with either gas/ oxygen or gas/air. These two nozzles will utilize different carburetors. The 1/4” Nozzle uses the #74 Carburetor and the 3/8” Nozzle uses the #34 Carburetor. The Universal Hand Torch is available in several different packages shown in the chart on the next page. Also available is the Universal Shorty Torch with shorter feed tubes and a shorter non-angled nozzle. It allows for a suitable mount for repetitive bench work. It is commonly used with a gas/air fishtail for lipstick flaming.
