Kemper 555C Oxy / Fuel Gas Brazing Set in Cylinder Stand
this Kemper gas set is better quality than the OxyTurbo set which looks to be similar.
It is not just the overall build quality but it is the attention to the torch gas control valves which make this set so much better and easier to work with, being able to control the flame size accurately and consistently.
This Kemper Group oxy / LPG fuel brazing and small heating set makes use of the smaller disposable oxygen canister with the M10 right hand, these canisters are more regularly available when compared to the OxyTurbo set which uses special threads.
The Kemper 555C gas set uses a control valve which screws to the butane / propane canister with the smaller thread (7/16" UNF) plus a simple oxygen regulator without gauges.
Note : The Kemper 555K2 gas set uses two regulators to allow use of the better fuel gases with the larger thread. Should you require the Kemper gas set which makes use of the regulators with a pressure gauge then please order the Kemper 555K gas set.
All the 555C, 555K2 and 555K sets include the same Kemper torch with good quality control valves having metal knobs, these valves do not adjust when tipped or knocked. The set includes oxy / propane hoses which are 1.25 m long.
Two brazing or small heating nozzles, one size #0 and one size #1, there are also two larger sizes #2 and #3 = 100l/hr - available as extra cost options.
The canister stand accepts two standard disposable canisters, one small oxygen and one fuel held in place by a butterfly plate and a wing nut at the back of the stand.
The 555C gas canister outlet valve is fitted with a purpose made non return valve to prevent oxygen backfeeding, likewise the simple pressure adjusting oxygen regulator outlet is also fitted with a non return vavle to prevent fuel gas back feeding into the oxygen canister. The construction of the outlet non return valves includes a dirt filter.
The non return valves are the first line of defence helping to prevent a flashback.
Note: These Kemper Group gas sets are not fitted with flashback arrestors.and there is no pretence that they are, as with some other supplier's sets.
The most important operation to maintain safety is to ensure correct opening and closing procedures are used.
For a set with proper German manufactured FBA included you need to consider the Noz-Alls CWS Model "O" set.
