Aligning the Butane Can with the Lighter
To refill a torch lighter, proper alignment is crucial. Here’s a step-by-step guide with additional details to ensure seamless alignment:
1. Confirm Nozzle Compatibility: Verify that the butane can’s nozzle is compatible with your lighter’s fill valve. The nozzle should fit snugly to prevent gas escape.
2. Identify the Fill Valve: Locate the fill valve on your lighter, typically marked with a small hole or nozzle. Ensure it’s unobstructed for proper gas flow.
3. Incline the Lighter: Tilt the lighter slightly downwards towards the butane can. This allows gravity to assist gas flow into the lighter’s reservoir.
4. Align the Nozzle and Valve: Hold the butane can firmly and position the nozzle directly above the fill valve. Ensure a tight seal between the nozzle and valve by pressing down slightly.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Insert the nozzle into the fill valve. |
| B | Press the butane can nozzle down to create a seal. |
| C | Hold the can steady and tilt the lighter slightly downwards. |
5. Maintain Alignment: Keep the nozzle and valve aligned throughout the filling process. Any misalignment can disrupt gas flow and potentially damage the lighter.
6. Check for Alignment: If gas is not flowing into the lighter, recheck the alignment between the nozzle and valve to ensure a proper seal.
