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!!
Such a great video, thanks! I’m a beginner and have been worried about doing this! My instructor recommended flashback arrestors; curious why those weren’t used here?
@@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..
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?
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
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
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.
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.

That helped. Very clear, and I'm glad you showed how to test the tank and what it looked like if there was a leak.
Great explaining and making this process understandable. Much Appreciated 👍🏿
right to the point w/o alot of song and dance - thank you
Such a great video, thanks! I’m a beginner and have been worried about doing this! My instructor recommended flashback arrestors; curious why those weren’t used here?
I would make sure to open the oxygen valve all the way because it’s a double seating valve otherwise great video👍🏼
ACTUALLY NICE EXPLANATION ❤
Thank you I have a test about this and this video really helped
You're the first one ive seen set it up properly .
Thank you for sharing this video always keep safe godbless
Why don't my supply gauges go to ) when I turn my tanks off and bleed the lines?
Hi, great video. What kind of adapter is that for the acetylene tank to the regulator?
Thank you. Its a "B"tank to standard tank adaptor.
@@FerrousPhoenix thank you!

@@FerrousPhoenix I thought that's what that was.
What type of flame arrester can be installed on a domestic gas cylinder when used with an oxygen cylinder for cutting in some workshops?
Thank you 😊
Beginner question here, can I use medical oxygen tank for my oxyacetylene setup?
Yes you can use medical oxygen for welding, it will just be more expensive.
Thnk you
Just need to know how to make that pop sound when you turn it off like the pros do
True lol, you can make it pop when you turn off the acetylene before the oxygen on the torch when the flame is going.
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?
It has to be a propane regulator, the acetylene regulator has a different fitting than a propane one.
Should we use Teflon tape on the threads??
You should not use Teflon tape. I have been advised in the past not to use the tape on the connections. Just brute force.
Why don't my supply gauges go to 0 when I turn my tanks off and bleed the lines?
If your using old gauges the pressure on the needle can wear down and become less accurate. Very common problem with old gauges.
Hwm Minimum pressure acetylene &OXY. In regulator?

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.
What about cutting RR rails
????
What is the Normal pressure of oxygen and acetylene
10-30 psi for oxygen and 5-10 psi acetylene is what I use.
How about 8 bars is not normal
What adapter is that between the acetylene regulator and the acetylene bottle?
Its an adapter for a "B" tank to use a regulater made for larger tanks.
smooth transition at 1:17
indeed
indubitably
How much pressure is inside each cylinders
A few hundred psi, I'm not sure exactly how much. I believe the psi is different for different sized tanks as well.
I only use small gas bottles but I know oxy is 2200 lbs new
Oxygen cy when it open oxy comes out so much air comes regletor

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
Where is the flash back arrestors
Price list please
its 5 bar?or 5psi?
5psi
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.
He's using a B acetylene tank, which has a CGA-520 thread. The thread is different than your standard CGA-510 acetylene regulator fitting.
Nice vedio saport
I didnt know kumar made oxy acetylene vids?? Jk appreciate the vid
🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What size of the regulator both sir
