Need Help Identifying Torch Piece

swp4lfe

Hello I am re-modeling my house and i am currently working on my new bathroom and soldering copper pipes. Now i am burning mapp gas and my torch head keeps getting dirty/clogged. I was wondering what the piece is called that screws on/off of the torch. Its the "head" piece where the flame comes out and has little pin holes around it for air. I need to get a new piece but i cant find it anywhere and i was hoping if i knew what the piece is actually called i can do more research and find it possibly. I bought the whole torch head for a doller back in the day and i dont want to buy a new one if only the head is clogged. I tried cleaning it but it seams like the pipe is not getting hot enough now and i dont know what else could be the problem.

Any info on the piece or where to buy one will be great. Thanks!

It's a thingamabob, but you need to know what brand thingamabob to try and get parts.

Ok, is the torch made for MAPP gas? Try cleaning the tip, bunch of little holes in a circle. They make a tip cleaner, looks like a bunch of thin and thinner halves of straightened paper clips. The top of your torch, tip section, should unscrew. And after all this you just might need a new torch.

yeah i cleaned out all the holes real good over these past days stuck inside because of the "blizzard" over here in philadelphia area. Im not sure of the brand i have to look for some markings to identify it. But thanks for the help.
