A basic tutorial for setting up an Oxy-Acetylene regulator and hose setup. This may be different than oxy-propane.
Step 1: attach regulators to the corresponding tanks.
Step 2: slowly add pressure from the tank valve to the regulator.
Step 3: add pressure to the hose with the hose valve on the regulator.
Step 4: turn off the tank valve and wait a few minutes to see if the regulators loss pressure.
Step 5: if pressure is lost in a cylinder, tighten the nuts where the leak might be coming from, then repeat the previous steps to check for a persisting leak.
Step 6: use the gases for your needs.
Step 7: once finished with the gases, turn off the cylinder valve, then release pressure from the torch, then turn the hose pressure valves off.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to never set acetylene hose pressure above 15 psi, acetylene is unstable at this pressure and can combust spontaneously. 5 psi should be plenty enough for all thin to medium metal thicknesses.

I wondered why you opened both tanks at the same time. It became clear the reason was you are a careful man, as I am. You were checking the new installation of the gauges for security and leaks. Thank you for being as basic as you could, it was a great review. My wife and I had a great laugh at your expense, tho, as we noticed the total devotion to neatness and organization of your shop area!!

I would make sure to open the oxygen valve all the way because it’s a double seating valve otherwise great video👍🏼

Yes and before putting on gauges always turn tank on for sec to blow out anything in you bottle do that stuff don’t get in your regulator.

None of you noticed he had a left to right hand thread adapter on the Acetylenl regulator and the wrong valve on the Acetylene tank? Your gas connections should always be left hand threads, and the grooves on the Connections for gas indicate left hand threads. Oxy connections are right hand threads.

​​@@FerrousPhoenixNice video. A few questions if you don't mind.... I have a small oxy/acetylene setup (10 cu. ft. acet & 20 cu. ft. oxy). I bought it to mostly just for heating up rusted nuts & bolts as I work on cars quite a bit. I read online that with my setup, it's not safe to use any size rosebud bc of the unsafe acetylene flow rate. If this is true, what size copper welding/brazing tip should I use? I have a #0, #1 & #2. Is #2 big enough to do it or should I go a bit bigger? Also, what should the pressures be for the appropriate tip size for my application? My other main question is ...Would a small Mapp pro/ oxy kit be cheaper and/or more efficient to run than the oxy/acet setup? I read that the tiny oxygen cylinders run out too quickly on these setups. However, if there is a way to hook up a larger oxygen tank to the small Mapp pro /oxy torch kit, then I would LOVE to do that. Is there anyway to do that safely? Thanks in advance..

This may be a dumb question but can the acetylene regulator be used on a propane tank? Does it strictly only have to be with acetylene tanks?
@FerrousPhoenix
@FerrousPhoenix Жыл бұрын
It has to be a propane regulator, the acetylene regulator has a different fitting than a propane one.

True lol, you can make it pop when you turn off the acetylene before the oxygen on the torch when the flame is going.

The last video I watched said that acetylene pressure should be 5-7psi and oxygen 10-15. If I'm trying to use the cutting torch are these pressures right?
@FerrousPhoenix
@FerrousPhoenix 2 жыл бұрын
That's about what I set my pressures to. But if your cutting really thick steel, you might need to increase them. Just make sure acetylene never gets pressurized above 15, it becomes unstable at higher pressure.

Does the psi for cutting with oxy acetylene vary with tank size? Like my portable kit you buy at Lowe's for like 300 bucks. Do the pressure settings change when you move from the baby 10cu ft to a mid class 75 cu ft tank? The reason I ask is my regulators use the tiniest A fittings and I bought adapters for A to the next size up and very common B fittings. The hose ID is 3/16" and I bought a little longer hose. I've never had issues before changing to longer hose. My flame just keeps going out as I'm heating up bolts that I want to cut off. Could it be that though the regulator reads 5-7 that I might need to crank it up to like 15 to get 5-7psi in the larger hose? Thanks

@chucksneed1264 Жыл бұрын
No, the pressure you need is determined by the size of the torch's tip. A larger tip will need a higher pressure of oxygen. You only need enough acetylene to get a decent flame before you crank the oxy

You should not use Teflon tape. I have been advised in the past not to use the tape on the connections. Just brute force.

If your using old gauges the pressure on the needle can wear down and become less accurate. Very common problem with old gauges.

So much wrong on this. The valve on the acetylene should even be left hand thread. The valve on the oxygen should be opened all the way. These tutorials should be 100% correct.
