Principles of Operation
This product uses a catalytic gas reaction system. The special catalyst contained in the tip is preheated with a butane flame. The preheated flame is extinguished when the shutter is closed over the ignition vent.
Chrome Plated Copper Base Nickel Plated Iron Plated
Evaporated
Gas
Tinned
Hot Air Vent Catalyst
Butane gas continues to flow over the preheated catalyst generating infrared heat which is either conducted through the soldering iron tip or passed through the heat tip as hot gas.
Fill with Ultratane™ Butane
Use only Master Ultratane butane with your Ultratorch. Do not fill gas or store near open flame, heater, furnace or combustible materials. Make sure the unit is cool before
