Excalibur Butbro Type 5 Shank - Type 3 or Type 5 Aluminium Shank.

Full size comfortable grip, Type 3 / 5 aluminium shank designed to take on all applications with ease.
Applications such as:- Fusion welding 0,6 to 25+mm  / Brazing / Silver soldering all with Oxy / acetylene,  or if you don't have the rent free acetylene available then we have nozzle options for brazing and silver soldering with oxy / propane,
Fitting the nozzle mix cutting attachment provides for cutting from 0.8 to 150mm with all the different fuel gases available.
Gouging, one of the quickest and easiest methods to remove tack welds or weld defects on mild steel with either the AGNM  or PGNM
Spot heating with the AHT heating heads, there is the option of using the PHT (Oxy / propane doesn't have the same speed / effect as oxy / acetylene but it can still be useful especially if you only have a small size acetylene cylinder available, the oxy/propane option can fill a bigger heating gap as the flow is less of a limiting factor.
The Oxy / Propane come into its own for "Super heating" with the 2290H super heating nozzles.  These provide a very high heat output.
The Type 3 or Type 5 is my preferred shank of choice as it is what I used on a regular basis during my years with BOC plus it was  the torch (Well a BOC Saffire 3) I was taught to weld with.  I also used this shank to train others with regards to all the different processes that are possible, that's because this Type 5 shank is the most versatile shank available - you can do so much, just fit the correct mixer or attachment.
