How do the Docking Irons work?

The wedge-shaped iron blade heated by gas, is used to both cut and cauterise the tail in one operation. The lamb is held in an inverted position by a cradle or chute. To avoid infections, do not dock wet lambs or in wet weather. Leave enough dock on the lamb to fully cover the vulva.

Do I need a regulator on my LPG bottle?

Te Pari Docking Irons attach to regular LPG bottles (BBQ Bottles) and DO NOT need a regulator on the hose. This is because the Iron has internal regulation in the valve control in the handle. If you have a regulator on the hose it will casue the iron to not work properly. Te Pari Irons are supplied with several bottle fittings but do not come with a quick release hose fitting which is sometimes used on BBQ's
