Responder Training’s Full 1-inch Propane Flare
Aptly named, “The RESPONDER PROPANE FLARE”, our flare is the first 1 inch commercially available propane flare intended for first responders and service agencies. The Responder propane flare has been created to move large volumes of propane using industry standard 1 3/4” ACME connections, 1” full flow hose, pipe and fittings. Using full 1” components throughout, “The RESPONDER PROPANE FLARE” can flow more that 4 times the capacity of 1/2″ flares. “The RESPONDER PROPANE FLARE” and the additional connection kits allows you to switch between an assortment of cylinders, tanks and piping systems with no tools required reducing time and the potential of leaks.

Propane weighs about half the weight of water, and like oil propane will float under the right circumstances.
