Review on Hot Max 24201 Extension Appliance by William Bell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Weak fittings can rupture the hose and cause a dangerous propane leak

Previous 3rd Host, the first two failed catastrophically and equally when the compression fitting on the end of the hose separated from the hose under pressure. create extreme fire hazards. The problem is that the main member flexes against the fitting and the lack of additional reinforcement to ensure the fitting stays in line with the hose allows for stress. Recommend anyone buying this immediately reinforces both ends to prevent bending in an area that may be stressed. Always, always, always close the propane valve unless actively using the Hot Max. 1 mistake is an accident, 2 mistakes is most likely an accident.

Pros
  • Welder
Cons
