Varies depending on the size of the torch.
Got any photos or a part number?

The tip adapter screws into the end of the swan neck, use a pair of grips to remove it and a spanner to fit the new one.

It should be tight because if it comes loose, this can happen

A new one looks like this

Thank you for your prompt reply together with very useful photos , I have followed your instructions and fixed it , so very grateful to you.
first time I have used a forum, just shows that there are some very kind and loving people left in this world. Not bad for an 89 year old geezer bought up in London.
