Our students often ask for some help setting up their home workshop, so we developed this kit. It includes all the specialist equipment required for a home brazing setup. Options are available for either oxygen/acetylene and oxygen/propane. Acetylene burns at a higher temperature than propane, and tends to be the choice of professionals. However many home insurance providers specifically exclude acetylene bottles, consequently most home users opt for a propane setup.

Items may differ from those pictured
Our standard brazing kits are comprised of Harris components. We source our brazing equipment from a range of suppliers and depending on availability you may receive parts from alternative manufacturers. All the parts we have chosen are excellent quality and made by brands that we trust.
Fittings are for 5/8" BSP threads - these will fit the gas bottles regularly available in the UK. If you live outside the UK please contact your local gas supplier to enquire about adapters. Fuel Regulator is L/H 5/8" BSP (Sometimes referred to as BS No.4 or POL 5/8"). Oxygen regulator is R/H 5/8" BSP (sometimes referred to as BS No.3).
Additional parts required
You will need to source your consumables and personal protective equipment, then you are ready to go. We can supply brazing rods and flux, if you would like to include some with your order let us know and we can give you the current price.
