Premium 42002 Dual Wick Alcohol Burner 100 mL Silver Bronze Lab Heater

Description

Product Overview

The Premium 42002 Dual Wick Alcohol Burner is engineered for professionals and hobbyists who demand consistent heat output and robust construction. Crafted from high‑grade metal with a sleek silver‑bronze finish, the burner resists corrosion and provides a stable platform for precise temperature control. Its dual wick system incorporates two ceramic fiber wicks encased in copper tubes, delivering a uniform flame that reduces flicker and improves safety during extended use. The 100 mL fuel reservoir, made from reinforced aluminum, holds enough high‑purity alcohol to sustain heating operations for hours without frequent refilling, making it ideal for laboratory experiments, chemical synthesis, and detailed craftwork.

Dimensions of 4.5 × 4 × 4 inches and a weight of only 0.179 kg ensure the unit is compact enough to fit on crowded benchtops while remaining portable for field applications. The burner’s spill‑resistant design, combined with a secure fuel cap, minimizes the risk of accidental leaks, and the metal body dissipates heat evenly, protecting surrounding equipment. Compatibility with standard laboratory alcohol fuels (excluding denatured rubbing alcohol) simplifies procurement and reduces operating costs.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the 42002 burner excels in a variety of environments. In academic and research laboratories, it provides the reliable flame needed for distillation, reflux, and sample preparation. Its steady heat output is essential for precise analytical techniques such as thin‑layer chromatography and spectroscopy where temperature fluctuations can compromise results.

Beyond the lab, the burner serves craftsmen, model makers, and hobbyists who require a compact heat source for soldering, glasswork, or small‑scale metalworking. The lightweight construction allows easy transport to workshops, field sites, or outdoor settings, while the durable metal housing protects the device from accidental drops and rough handling. Whether you are heating a beaker, annealing a metal wire, or performing a controlled burn in a classroom demonstration, the burner’s ergonomic handle and balanced base provide comfort and stability.

FAQ

What type of alcohol fuel should I use?

Use high‑purity laboratory alcohol such as ethanol or methanol that is free of additives. Avoid denatured rubbing alcohol, as it contains chemicals that can affect flame quality and safety.

Can the wicks be replaced, and how often?

Yes, the ceramic fiber wicks are replaceable. Depending on usage intensity, they typically last 200‑300 hours of continuous operation before needing replacement.

Is the burner safe for use in confined spaces?

The burner is designed with a spill‑resistant fuel tank and a stable base, but adequate ventilation is essential when operating any open flame in enclosed areas to prevent accumulation of vapors.

How do I clean the fuel tank after use?

Allow the tank to cool completely, then flush it with a compatible solvent such as isopropyl alcohol followed by distilled water. Dry the tank thoroughly before refilling.

What warranty does GSC International provide?

The burner comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact our support team for assistance and replacement options.
