Forestry Bush Drip Torch 5L
Forestry Bush Drip Torch 5L
A drip torch is a tool used in wild land fire fighting, controlled burning, and other forestry applications to intentionally ignite fires.
The drip torch consists of a canister that holds fuel with a handle attached to the side, a spout with a loop (pigtail) to prevent fire from entering the fuel canister, a breather valve to allow air into the canister while fuel is exiting through the spout, and a wick from which flaming fuel is dropped to the ground. The wick is ignited and allows the fire to be directed as needed. The typical fuel used is a mixture of petrol and diesel. In plantations and environmental management, the drip torch is the most common tool used to ignite prescribed burns, which are used to remove excess fuel buildup or to re-create natural cycles of fire in an ecosystem.
Features:
- Full-length handle.
- “Big Mouth” design for easier filling.
- A fuel trap on the spout prevents flashback into tank.
- A check valve in the cover provides a second level of protection against flashback. Breather valve, oilproof gaskets and sealed outlets prevent spills and fuel-slopping.
