A couple of suggestions....

1) Contact your local building codes administrator and see what the actual codes are that apply to your torch needs. In some cases, they do not specifically apply or do not cover a lampworking torch.

2) Locate a local lampworking person, group or shop and see what they are doing in regard to UK rules.

3) Ask GTT for suggestions as they sell torches all over the world. And see what they have to say about UK connection issues.

The overall problem is that lampworking is an uncommon use and most plumbers try to apply the standard rules. As most have never seen a lampworking torch.

Keeping a propane tank inside IMO is against all rules. However, once again the UK rules could be different. But from a safety standpoint that tank should ALWAYS be outside.
