0386-0528 - TurboTorch TSR Tank Rack for 1lb Cylinders

Secure Stability for Portable Torch Operations

The TurboTorch TSR Tank Rack, often recognized by professionals as the "Turbo Snake" for its unique wire-form design, is an essential accessory for any tradesperson relying on portable fuel cylinders. When working in tight, demanding environments—such as under sinks for plumbing repairs or on rooftops for HVAC maintenance—stability is key. Standard 1lb disposable propane or MAPP gas cylinders have a narrow base and a high center of gravity, especially when connected to a heavy hose and torch assembly. This makes them prone to tipping over, which is not only a nuisance that interrupts your workflow but also a potential safety hazard.

The TSR Tank Rack (Model 0386-0528) solves this problem with a simple yet highly effective design. Constructed from a durable wire frame combined with a tension spring, it securely cradles the cylinder, locking it in place. The rack is engineered to hold the tank at a fixed 45-degree angle relative to the floor. This angled position significantly widens the effective footprint of the cylinder, making it virtually impossible to tip over during normal use. Whether you are dragging the hose to reach a difficult joint or adjusting your position, the tank remains grounded and secure.

Beyond stability, the 45-degree angle aids in proper fuel withdrawal. By keeping the tank angled, the rack helps ensure that the torch draws vapor rather than liquid fuel, which is critical for maintaining a consistent flame and preventing flare-ups or sputtering. The wire construction is lightweight, adding almost no bulk to your tool bag, yet it is rugged enough to withstand the drops and impacts common on construction sites. For any professional using a remote-hose torch system, the TurboTorch TSR Tank Rack is a small investment that delivers major improvements in safety and efficiency.
