Natural gas is the optimal fuel for use with the Lucio Burner and will provide the best working results.
Lucio Burner
For the broadest range of flame types, and the ability to work with a wide range of applications, the
Lucio Burner offers a unique flame extremely well suited for soft glass sculptural work of all sizes.
The Lucio Burners base features a stainless steel plate with drilled ports for mounting. The burner head
can be pivoted via a ball joint connection to achieve several angles of adjustment. The base does not
incorporate a height adjustment and does not include a marver (available separately as an optional
accessory)
Options and Accessories:
The Lucio Burner has several options and accessories that are available. This section is intended to
provide any pertinent information for the options that may be applicable.
Marver: A 2 inch by 4 inch Graphite Marver designed to mount to the top of the torch. The marver
adjustment is independent from the burner adjustment. (Installed by operator).
In-Line Disposable Filters Option: This is a highly recommended option to filter the fuel gas and
oxygen gases prior to the burner to reduce the possibility of containments from the feed piping.
Hose Options: There are three types of hosing recommended for CC Series burners, Welding hose,
Tygon hose, and Stainless Steel Braided hose. Please refer to Bulletin 24D for more information
regarding these products.
The Lucio Burner is a Surface Mixed Burner:
Surface mixed burners deliver the gas and oxygen to the face separately so that the mixing of gases
happens as they exit the burner face. This produces a safe flame for working with any application.
Surface mixed burners do not have the possibility for combustion to take place inside of the burner (this
is commonly known as Flashback) since the gas and oxygen are not mixed until they exit the burner.
However, certain conditions (such as an internal leak) could cause a Flashback to occur.
