Gas Equipment

for lampworkers, Glass Beadmakers and Glassblowers

Click Here to see our Oxygen Concentrators (Oxygen Generators)

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.

Item#	Description	Price
	OXYGEN REGULATOR Two gauge. One Stage - Click Here for information about regulators, about OUR regulators and warranty. Inlet CGA 540. Outlet male "B" fitting. Order Number REB93	List Price: $85 Our Low Price:$69.00

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.

Item#	Length	Ends of hose - hose diameter	Price
T124	12 ft (3.7 meters)	Female "B" fitting one side and cut end of hose other side 1/4" diameter hose	$22
T254	25 ft (7.7 meters)	Female "B" fitting on both ends 1/4" diameter hose	$34

The below larger diameter hose is only used if when you need a large hose to fit over the large inlet fittings on some torches. (You can get the smaller 1/4" hose listed above on these large inlet fittings with a bit of effort. A trick is to immerse the end of the hose in very hot water to soften the end.)

Order #	Length	Ends of hose - hose diameter	Price
T128	12 ft (3.7 meters)	Female "B" fitting one side and cut end of hose other side 3/8" diameter hose	$29.50
T258	25 ft (7.7 meters)	Female "B" fitting on both ends 3/8" diameter hose	$52.00

Y - Connectors for Hose

Y Connector - Connect this fitting at the output of the regulator and attach two hoses so you can use two torches from the same tank. Oxygen and propane Y are packaged and priced separately.

Y Connector with valves - Same as the Y connector described above except has two on/off valves, one for each hose.

Item#	Description	Output end is a	Input end is a	Price
101	Y hose connector (oxygen)	hose (B fitting)	Oxygen regulator	$19.50
102	Y hose connector (propane)	hose (B fitting)	Propane regulator	$19.50
101V	Y hose connector with valve (Oxygen)	hose (B fitting)	Oxygen regulator	$32.50
102V	Y hose connector with valve (Propane)	hose (B fitting)	Propane regulator	$32.50

* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and is more commonly used.

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.

Item#	Description	Output end is a	Input end is a	Price
	Flashback arrestors (pair of oxygen and fuel gas) Connects directly to the fittings on a torch like the 3AB, 8M and Carlisle. We also include the fitting so you can put this arrestor in the middle of your twin hose. A good place to put this arrestor is a couple feet away from the torch. If you cut the hose you will not have fittings on the ends. Then must order one or two pair of A2 fittings for $5.00 to connect to arrestor.
