“Not published” means the maker does not publish that figure, not that it is zero. Prices without a dollar figure show our price band instead. Confirm the current spec and price with Herbert Arnold before you buy.
What the maker states
Herbert Arnold's burner page describes stainless-steel housings and jets, high heating capacity, low-noise operation, homogeneous flames, and suitability for quartz. It says burners can be supplied for all gas types.
Documented burners
The official burner page directly identifies the 141/3 as a surface-mix hand torch with a multiple-jet head. Arnold also publishes burner catalogs covering Zenit and other hand and bench configurations. Exact model names, head sizes, and flow values should be tied to the specific catalog sheet.
Catalog limits
Herbert Arnold documents much of its range in PDF catalog sheets rather than individual product pages, so several of our catalog rows still need exact model-number and head-size mapping before every field can be called verified. Where a figure is not yet mapped to a specific sheet, we leave it blank rather than guess.
