BIC Mega Happy Standard Utility Lighter - Red

Product Information

Inexpensive, versatile, and easy-to-use, these refillable butane lighters are great for restaurants, catering operations, and any other food-serving establishments. In a pinch, a large rubber band would suffice. Cut a tiny hole in the rubber band with your pin and insert the valve into it. Or, if you have a good-fitting rubber grommet, that can work too. Step 4: Simple to use, these Bic Mega Lighters are essential for any busy food service professional. They’re perfect to have on hand for any table top candles, food warmers, and for firing up your BBQ.

Butane can be quite pressurized, so as soon as any gas flow gets cut off, it’ll want all of its fluid out like a tempted faucet that just got shut! To prevent this, place your thumb on the Bic lighter’s hole when removing the butane canister so that nothing gets released. Step 6: Due to this, wear protective gear before beginning so that no harm comes your way, and grab a bottle with fuel as you slowly pour it into the lighter until its chambers are covered entirely.When inserting your refill valve, slight agitation around its circumference may be needed with a razor so as not to damage any wiring present in the interior area of your Bic lighter. Yes, it is a good idea to shake the canister of butane before filling a lighter. This will mix up any sediment that has settled at the bottom of the container and ensure that you get a consistent fuel flow into your lighter. At the base of your Bic lighter’s fuel chamber, there is a rubber divider typically kept in place to keep it isolated and separated from other chambers for extra safety. Using a drill bit or something similar, you could make small openings into the divider to allow room for your valve and still be strong enough to keep it from collapsing when applying pressure of fuel is added in the fifth step of this process. Step 5: The entire body of the lighter has been designed to fit nicely in your hand, so is comfortable to use repeatedly if needed.

Place a refill valve at the bottom of the lighter using this process. This encourages you to reload the Bic lighter several times. When poking into this opening, be careful not to make puncture any further than needed as doing so could cause an unwanted fuel leak once filled and could also put the lighter into a state of disrepair. Step 2: Instead, its presence will remain suspended near or at ceiling level until something causes agitation of the room’s lower levels—like from airflow resulting from opening a door. Last Word Fill the lighter with butane while keeping it upside down. A classic-size Bic lighter takes about 30 seconds to fill. Although, if this is your first time, I recommend you put less, as you will see in step 5. Step 5: Now that your hole has been made larger to accommodate for a boost, make sure you flip over and shake up the lighter so any debris leftover from drilling comes out of its interior area before continuing with the next step. Step 4:After gaining access to this hole, you will need to widen it so your refill valve can fit correctly inside. When deciding what size drill bit is needed, ensure that whatever diameter tool used should not exceed more than slightly wider than the width measurement taken from previous steps when noting down measurements before drilling begins. In the bottom of your Bic lighter, you will locate a small hole. This is where you need to push with something like a pin or drill bit before it lands within the interior area of the lighter. Insert your pin into the small hole at the base of the Bic lighter. This is necessary if you want to properly refill it with butane gas, as a ball seals off this opening and prevents any lighter fluid from coming out or going in. Butane is both lighter and less dense than air, meaning that it will float in the atmosphere. This can make detecting a butane leak more difficult because it won’t sink to the floor like other fuel vapors.
