Hey there! If you're looking to get your hands on some top-notch equipment for gas cutting, brazing, welding, and heating, you've come to the right place. Let me walk you through the basics of identifying what you need when it comes to Oxy/Acetylene and Oxy/LPG cutting, gouging, brazing, and heating.
Take a look at the visual guide below to help you figure out which tools are best suited for different tasks. You can click on the links provided for more detailed information about each product—or simply click here to download a PDF version of this guide.
Gas Cylinder to Torch Handle
For starters, let’s talk about the essential components that connect your gas cylinders to your torch handle. Here’s a quick overview of the key items:
- **Regulators**: These control the flow of gas from the cylinder to your torch.
- **Flashback Arrestors**: These prevent flashback explosions by stopping flames from traveling back into the gas line.
- **Quick-Couplings**: These make it easy to quickly attach and detach hoses.
- **Hoses**: These transport the gas from the regulator to the torch handle.
Cutting & Gouging
When it comes to cutting and gouging, you’ll want to consider the following:
- **Torch Handle**: The main tool you’ll use for cutting and gouging.
- **Cutting Attachment**: This connects to your torch handle to allow for precise cutting.
- **Cutting Tips/Nozzles**: These determine the type of cut you’ll achieve.
- **Gouging Tips/Nozzles**: These are designed specifically for gouging operations.
Brazing & Welding
Brazing and welding are two distinct processes that require specific tools:
- **Brazing Mixer / Attachment**: Used for brazing operations.
- **Brazing Tips / Welding Tips**: These determine the quality and type of weld or braze you’ll achieve.
Handy Tip: Oxy brazing can be performed with both Oxy/Acetylene and Oxy/LPG. However, Oxy welding (such as welding steel together using steel filler wire) is only feasible with Oxy/Acetylene.
Heating
Heating is another important application where you might need specialized tools:
- **Heating Mixers / Attachments**: These mix gases to produce heat.
- **Heating Barrels / Tubes**: These direct the heat output.
- **Heating Tips / Nozzles**: These determine the intensity and direction of the heat.
Handy Tip: Using Oxy/Acetylene for heating becomes risky when drawing large flows from the acetylene cylinder (like during heavy heating). For this reason, Oxy/Acetylene heating tips aren’t available in large or very large sizes. Oxy/LPG doesn’t have this limitation, and Oxy/LPG heating tips are available in larger sizes for heavy-duty heating jobs. Overall, Oxy/LPG is safer and more cost-effective than Oxy/Acetylene.
