Oxygen and Fuel Gas Systems:

The gases necessary to fuel your burners and torches may be delivered by the way of complex gas manifold systems or as simple as a compressed gas cylinder, regulator and flexible hose assembly. All federal, state and local regulations must be adhered to whichever the system is used. Prior to use, all gas systems should be inspected for leaks and overall safe operating conditions.

Both gas delivery systems will require the use of flexible tubings at the torch or burner. Burners are usually stationary on a bench top and may require only 2 -3 feet of tubing. The hand torch will be moved a great deal, however, and will require 8 - 12 feet of tubing on average. TYGON works very well as a flexible tubing material. It may be purchased in "twin-tubing" form with a protective woven overboard or sleeve (recommended).
