| will solder soft copper pipe to 2-1/2", silver
solder/braze to 3/4" & make soldered electrical connections, WITHOUT a
flame. |
Sting®
operates from any 110v, 20-amp power supply and delivers 3000 degrees
of heat in a matter of seconds. However, even with so much power, the
heat is easily controlled with the conveniently placed switch on the hand
set. Delivering a maximum of 8 volts AC when in use ensures the STING® is
completely safe in any situation. And STING® comes complete with a handy
cart for easy transportation.
In addition,
electrode extensions, for accessing those difficult to reach spots inside
a wall or ceiling are among several accessories that are available for use
with STING®. Others include thawing cables, for thawing up to 20 feet of
frozen water pipe and grounding cables, together with a foot switch, to
make repetitive bench assembly work so much easier.

Sting®
will never eliminate the use of a flame. However, for soldering, silver
brazing or making soldered electrical connections, STING® is a sensible
alternative. This is especially true where the use of an open flame poses
a fire hazard, a "hot work permit" or "fire watch" is required, or where
the use or transportation of gas cylinders is not allowed (as in a
prison).
Sting®
will solder and silver solder any job usually done with a flame, quicker,
safer and without the risk of fire. STING is completely self-contained and
is UL listed.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will Sting®
work with lead free solder?
Yes. And with Siphons or silver brazing rod down to 5% silver.
How long
are the cables and can I have them longer?
The cables are 10 feet long and are at their maximum length for best
performance.
Does Sting®
need special fluxes or fittings?
No. Anything you would use with a flame is good with Sting®.
Fires from torches do happen.
They may not always happen to someone else!
According to the NPFA,
in the period of 1991-1995 there were 4,560 fires caused by a torch NOT
INCLUDING those caused by cutting or welding torches. These resulted in
eight civilian deaths, one hundred and fifty injuries and more than $85
million in property damage.

a time can be progressively heated to accomplish nearly any size
joint. Larger work requires more time and smaller work requires
less time. |
