There is no wire thin enough to go in that hole.... At least none strong
enough to push thru it.....


I kept a torch tip cleaner set with my torches. I had different tips I needed to occasionally clean including my propane torch. The set has a number of different wire sizes including some you may have a hard time seeing without reading glasses. I've cleaned the orifice on my propane torches with one of the tiny wires from a small stainless steel or brass bristle brush. ?(?)?

Not even CLOSE. The orifice on a berzomatic torch today is often
combined with the sintered brass filter - the orifice is so small it
is virtually invisible - no POSSIBLE way you could clean it with a
wire.. It won't even pass liquid propane (and will often kill the
flame if you tilt the torch so the head is below the level of liquid
in the tank)
