Abstract
An improved valve construction for a gas torch. The torch includes a valve body having a fuel conducting passage which provides communication between a container for pressurized fuel, such as propane, and an outlet tube. An opening in the valve body intersects the gas passage and receives a valve which controls the flow of gas through the passage. The stem of the valve is provided with an external thread which is engaged with an internal thread in the opening, and the outer surface of the valve body bordering the opening is staked to deform the outer portion of the internal thread to prevent the valve from being threaded out of the opening.
