Connecting Your Hose to the
Major Burner Torch

The hose slips on to the torch barbs and are secured with hose clamps.
A 3/8" (ID) Type T twin gas hose is what you need.
Our 3/8" twin gas hose will work great for this torch.
Our #T128 twelve foot hose with one end cut - or
Our #T258 twenty five hose (you need to cut the fittings off of one side.)

A 1/4" (ID) hose will work but it take a bit of pushing to get the smaller hose in the barb.
See the hose details further down the page.

Gas Regulators

Two regulators are required when you use a two gas, (oxygen and propane) torch. They fit between the gas tanks and the gas hose. None are needed if you are using the Hot Head torch. Oxygen Regulator is not needed if you are using an Oxygen Concentrator.

Gas Hoses

Use this hose when you use a two gas torch (oxygen and propane) like a Minor Burner. To attach torch, push the cut ends onto the torch and secure with a hose clamp. These hoses have two attached hoses, one for oxygen and one for propane. The brass end of the hoses are attached to the gas regulators. Propane hose fittings are left handed threads and colored red and oxygen is right handed and colored green - This prevents a mix-up when attaching hoses.

CAUTION Do not use the easy to find oxygen/acetylene type hoses. The propane gas will rot them. The hoses we sell are made for all types of gas including propane. Hose ends have female brass fittings.

Flashback Arrestors

In some rare situations, a flame can travel back down a hose to the gas tank and cause an explosion.

This device helps prevent this reverse gas flow and flashback by using a reverse flow check valve and a flame arrestor.

Packaged and priced with both an oxygen and a propane arrestor.



Note: Flashback arrestors have an arrow stamped on it to indicate the gas flow direction.
Works in only one direction.
