Hey I need to know if its legal or no to make a homemade propane torch in Ontario Canada or not. Do any of you guys know? I can't seem to find any info online. I know in any sort of business you need to have certification to handle or work with propane. But for personal use I'm not sure what you are and aren't allowed to do.

You need a CSA or whatever certified regulator to hook up to your tank or propane source. The burner can be fuck all as long as your regulator is working properly.
But then again this is /diy/, laws aren't going to mean shit if you burn your house down and insurance doesn't cover you.

So with a CSA regulator you are perfectly fine? You can't get charged or in shit or anything?
I mentioned the idea to my shop teacher and he juts about jumped down my throat talking about certifications and gas fitting requirements and that it was illegal.
But I mean my one friend is an engineer and he got a regulator from work, the rest is just BBQ hose, fittings, a pressure gauge and some pipe. Oh and tapping a hole and putting a welding nozzle in.

illegal unless you only use parts tested and certified for the task. either way you can buy a kit at princess auto for $80 which is cheap enough so there's really no point making your own

What if you build it and then get a licensed gas fitter to sign off on it?
I mean sure you can just buy one, but where is the fun in that?
