Bullfinch 404 AutoTorch Brazing Gas Blow Torch Kit – Up to 1200°C | Fixed 4 Bar Regulator
A high-temperature brazing torch kit designed specifically for professional trades people. In everyday use, the Bullfinch 404 AutoTorch reaches 950°C; under ideal conditions 1200°C. This tool is primarily used for the high-temperature requirements of bronze brazing, hard soldering and silver soldering. Includes piezo auto ignition system, deadman’s trigger, hose failure valve, fixed 4 bar regulator and 2.75m (8.85ft) reinforced hose. Can be fitted with Calor Gas and Flo-Gas propane cylinders. 5 year warranty included.
This is not a general-purpose heating torch but a brazing-specific tool that was developed based on the needs of professionals who specialize in bronze brazing, hard soldering and silver soldering. The fixed 4-bar regulator defines the Bullfinch 404 as a distinct model compared to the other AutoTorch kits. General-purpose AutoTorch kits have regulators that can be adjusted between 0 – 2 bar; the Bullfinch 404 has a fixed 4-bar regulator. A 4-bar regulator provides enough pressure to produce a fast-moving flame that is needed to achieve temperatures of 950 – 1200°C quickly and efficiently during brazing operations.
Although the Bullfinch 404 consumes more gas at 340 g/hr at 2 bar, it is actually more fuel efficient than the 230 P and 233 P general-purpose kits due to the fact that the brazing burner delivers the heat much more efficiently to the workpiece versus spreading the heat over a larger surface area. Although the Bullfinch 404 produces more heat than lower-pressure options due to the combination of its 30 mm brazing burner and its 4.76 kW output at 1 bar, it will heat up quicker than lower-pressure brazing torches. Faster heat-up times equate to greater productivity and are economically beneficial to plumbers and engineers who perform multiple brazing operations each day. As well as auto-piezo ignition and deadman’s trigger safety and hose failure valve being standard features among all models within the Bullfinch AutoTorch family, the Bullfinch 404 offers the added benefit of fixed-high pressure regulation. Additionally, the Bullfinch brazing torch is compatible with Bullfinch brazing burners 4103 and 4104 for increased flexibility in meeting various specialized brazing applications.
Important: Only suitable for use with propane cylinders. Follow safe working procedures when using gas-heating equipment. Brazing must only be performed by trained personnel with relevant experience.
Key Features & Benefits
- Maximum Temperature of up to 1200°C — While normally functioning at approximately 950°C, it achieves maximum temperatures of up to 1200°C in optimal operating conditions — The complete temperature range necessary for bronze brazing copper, hard soldering and silver soldering.
- High Pressure, Fixed 4-Bar Regulator — Provides continuous operation at a consistent high pressure required for brazing applications — Unlike adjustable regulators, fixed 4-bar regulators provide the precise operating pressures that are necessary for producing the desired flame characteristics at brazing.
- Output of 4.76 kW at 1 Bar — An effective, highly focused high-temperature output — Due to its concentrated heat output at high temperature, it achieves faster heat-up rates than alternative lower-pressure systems performing similar brazing operations.
- Gas Consumption of 340 g/h at 2 Bar — More gas-efficient than the general-purpose AutoTorch kits while providing higher temperature capabilities — Heat is concentrated onto a smaller work surface instead of spreading it over a larger surface.
- Auto-Piezo Ignition — A reliable push-button ignition source in all environments including windy ones — No spark igniter or lighter is required.
- Deadman’s Trigger Safety System — Immediately terminates flame and gas supply upon releasing trigger — A torch cannot continue burning when left unattended.
- Specialised Brazing Burner — Designed for concentrated high-temperature flame delivery for brazing-type operations.
- Compatible with Bullfinch Burners 4103 & 4104 — Extend your kit to meet even more specific brazing applications.
- Three-Layer Reinforced Hose: Length = 2.75 meters (8.85 ft.) — Offers comfortable working distances on-site.
- Compatible with Propane Cylinders from Both Major Suppliers: Calor Gas & Flo-Gas — Suitable for propane cylinders ranging in size from 3.9 kg to 47 kg from both major suppliers in the United Kingdom.
- 5 Year Warranty — Protection offered by Bullfinch for defective parts and/or workmanship.
Recommended Use

- Screw-In Regulator for High Pressure Propane: Fixed 4 Bar
- Reinforced Hose: Three Layers — Length: 2.75 m (8.85 ft.)
Why Purchase the Bullfinch 404 AutoTorch?
- Fixed 4-bar regulator — the proper pressure for brazing — Not optional, required — Brazing copper pipe and silver soldering demand a very specific flame velocity and concentration rate that lower-pressure torches are unable to consistently deliver. The fixed four bar regulator is NOT a limitation — It is the required operational specifications for brazing applications. If you were to use a two-bar adjustable torch for brazing operations, you would likely get less consistent results snd slower heat-ups.
- Temperature Range of 950–1200°C Covers Full Brazing Temperature Range — Bronze Brazing Copper Pipes usually require temperatures of around 600–900°C; Silver Solder Flows at approximately 600–800°C; Hard Solder requires temperatures of approximately 820–870°C. The Bullfinch 404 covers and exceeds the upper portion of this temperature range so that operators may increase their heat-up speed without reaching the melting points of copper work pieces.
- More Fuel-Efficient Than Other General Heating Torches At These Temperatures — The Bullfinch 404 uses less gas than the general-purpose torches (230P, 233P), yet generates hotter temperatures — Because the brazing burner concentrates energy rather than dispersing it throughout an area. For a plumber who performs multiple joints daily, that savings represents a measurable cost savings over time.
