Nortel Goliath Glass Torch

The Nortel Goliath is listed in Nortel’s store among its mounted torches, at CAD $3,596 on 2026-10-06, the highest price on Nortel’s list. That is nearly all Nortel has published. The listing carries a placeholder description with no specifications, so this page sets out what is known and what you need to ask.

What Nortel has published

• Name and category: “Goliath”, under Mounted Torches, so it is a bench torch rather than a hand torch.
• Price: CAD $3,596 on Nortel’s store. We have not recorded a US-dollar figure from Nortel and we do not convert currencies ourselves.
• Fuel: none named on the listing. Nortel’s torch index says its torches run on natural gas or propane with oxygen.

Nortel publishes no mix type, port count, stages, glass rating, flame size, pressures or oxygen guidance for the Goliath. Our catalog leaves each of those blank.

Where it sits in the Nortel line

On price, the Goliath tops Nortel’s store, above the Hydra (CAD $2,813), the Medusa (CAD $2,386) and the Rocket (CAD $2,158). The name and the price suggest Nortel’s biggest torch, but a price is not a spec: until Nortel posts one, you cannot tell whether it is a larger surface-mix burner like the Rocket or a layered surface-and-premix design like the Hydra with its Arrow center. Our Nortel torch lineup covers the documented models in depth.

Questions to put to Nortel

At this price you should know exactly what you are buying. Ask Nortel:

1. Is it surface mix, premix, or a combination?
2. How many ports and stages, and how are the valves laid out?
3. What glass and what size of work is it built for?
4. What fuel and oxygen pressures does it want, and how much oxygen does it draw? A torch at the top of a maker’s range can outrun a concentrator setup, so check the answer against how many LPM does my torch need.
5. What is the price in your currency, and what ships in the box?

Nortel takes orders and repair questions at service@nortelmfg.com. Once you have answers, weigh it against the documented production burners in how to choose a glass torch.

Before you buy

Whatever Nortel tells you, budget for the whole system: oxygen, regulators, flashback protection matched to your torch and gas supply, boro-rated eyewear and ventilation.

Editor’s note: this page reflects Nortel’s store listing as read on 2026-10-06, which held a placeholder description. We will add specifications when Nortel publishes them. Until then, confirm every detail with Nortel before purchasing.
