Tiger Torch S-2 Heavy Duty Propane Heating Torch

Precision Pre-Heating and Thawing Power

For professional welders and fabricators, temperature control is often the key to a successful project. The Tiger Torch S-2 Hand Torch is a premium propane heating solution designed to deliver consistent, high-output heat for pre-heating base metals, maintaining interpass temperatures, and post-weld heat treatment applications. Built to last, this torch features a rugged steel body and a durable brass valve assembly that resists corrosion and mechanical damage, ensuring it remains a permanent fixture in your welding rig for years to come.

The S-2 model is specifically engineered for propane vapor service, offering a clean-burning and cost-effective heat source. Its compact head design allows welders to access tighter spaces that larger "weed burner" style torches cannot reach, while still delivering significantly more BTUs than standard plumbing torches. This makes it ideal for bringing thick steel plates up to temperature quickly, removing moisture from steel before welding to prevent porosity, and expanding metal parts for shrink-fit applications.

Essential for Cold Weather Welding

Welding in cold environments presents unique challenges, from cold cracking to equipment freezing. The Tiger Torch S-2 is the ultimate cold-weather companion. It excels at thawing frozen hydrants, warming up gas cylinders (with appropriate caution and distance), and de-icing equipment tracks. Its wind-resistant flame structure ensures that you maintain heat transfer even on blustery job sites. The torch is lightweight enough to be used for extended periods without causing operator fatigue, yet heavy enough to feel substantial and secure in the hand.

Features and Compatibility

This hand torch is compatible with standard propane hoses and regulators found in most welding shops. It features a straightforward manual control valve for easy lighting and flame adjustment. The S-2 does not rely on complex piezo ignition systems that often fail in dirty environments; instead, it uses a standard striker for ignition, ensuring it lights every time. Whether you are in the shop or out on a pipeline, the Tiger Torch S-2 provides the thermal power you need to ensure weld quality and operational efficiency.
