Should the tap on a Clarke Propane regulator do anything?
 
I have just bought a Clarke (Machine Mart) Propane Torch and found that
there is a 'tap' on the regulator which appears to do nothing.

There is a tap on the Calor bottle which I can use to stop the supply
and also one on the torch itself. But there is also one on the
Regulator which I assumed would shut of the supply to the torch, but it
does nothing.

Does anyone else have this kind of regulator? If so, does your tap do
anything?

Yes, the tap should open/shut off the supply.
I have the paint stripper torch.

Does it matter? all said and done if you cant smell the gas and the gun tap
switches it off then I wouldn't bother.
