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.

A2 optional,
not always need and are not included.
* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and
is more commonly used. Requires B size fittings on hose.
