The Sting®
Will soft solder copper pipe to 2.500 inch, silver solder / braze to 0.750 inch and make soldered electrical connections, WITHOUT a flame.

Sting® operates from any 110 VAC, 20A, 60 HZ power supply and delivers 3000 degrees F 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 8V 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.

Features and Benefits:
-Provides 0 to 3,000 degree F heat in less than 2 seconds. Faster heat saves time and cuts costs!
-Provides flameless heat that will not pollute the atmosphere and is safe around combustible materials.
-Uses readily available 120 VAC, 20A 60HZ electrical current
-Flameless heat is non-oxidizing. This is very important in securing consistently sound joints.
-UL listed, completely safe to operate.
-Can reduce insurance costs in most shop fabrication applications.
-Heat tips can be touched together without danger or damage.
-Easily portable for use in all types of job situations.

Accessories:
-Easy roll cart
-Remote foot switch
-Round electrode holders, ( special )
-Carbon tip replacement
-Ground clamp

Will Sting® work with lead free solder?
-Yes, and with Silfos 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.

The Sting can be used for the following applications and is STILL #1:

Plumbing:
Instant 3000 degree F heat speeds soldering of copper fittings and because the Sting is flameless it permits the craftsman to work safely near combustible building materials. Thaws frozen pipes quickly and safely. A must tool for apartment and mobile home maintenance work.
Hospitals:
Flameless Sting emits no pollutants that could contaminate sterile atmosphere. Also because it is flameless, it minimizes copper tubing oxidation during silver brazing operations, usually eliminating the necessity of filling the tubing with inert gas, in oxygen line installation. Excellent for nursing home maintenance.
Sprinkler:
Accelerates copper sprinkler installations with fast heating characteristics. Flameless heat permits installation in tight spaces. This is particularly important in retrofit situations.
Heating:
The Sting speeds any copper heating installation whether it is used for soldering or brazing because of it's instant heat. It is particularly suited for fin tube baseboard installations, where joints must be soldered or brazed close to floors or wills. The flameless heat is much safer near these combustible materials.
Refrigeration:
The Sting' minimizes the time required to braze copper joints because the heat is applied much more rapidly. In addition, the flameless operation does not oxidize fittings or tubing. This oxidation's a prime cause for failure of flux in brazing applications.
Automotive Repair:
Nameless heat will not oxidize aluminum in radiator repair. Also 3000° F heat speeds brazing of exhaust pipes.
Fabrication Shops:
Assures fast joining, brazing, soldering etc. of same or dissimilar metals. Fast flameless heat does not oxidize metal surfaces to interfere with the action of the flux. Also because the Sting' is flameless it will not pollute the atmosphere.
Electrical:
The flameless Sting° permits soldering of electrical wires without burning the installation or any adjacent materials. Makes very fast and sound connections.
