Oxy-acetylene torches are a accepted stuff on jobs that desire alteration to steel. Torches are used to chop, score, and braze thick steel beams and hefty metal plate. Unlike other methods of cutting weighty metal, torches can be carted anywhere and perform without electricity. Hoses attach the torch handle to a cistern of O2 and a cistern of acetylene. The two gases are then combined within the torch stem to construct a fiery flame capable of melting bulky plate steel.
Instructions
1. Quickly conduct and rapid the valve (crack the valve) of the O2 cistern to remove any debris from within the threaded nozzle. Disinfected the threaded earth enclosing the O2 valve with a Disinfected rag. Crack the valve of the acetylene vat and Disinfected the threaded nozzle with another Disinfected rag. Peep the threaded areas for grease and oil, which coin a combustion hazard when the torch is used.
2. Thread the connector of the growing hose onto the O2 regulator, by turning the connecter clockwise. The right-handed threads of the oxygen hose will only connect to the oxygen inlet of the torch handle. Set the adjustable wrench to size and secure the oxygen connector. Assemble the left-hand threaded acetylene connector to the torch handle.
3. Thread the connector of the chestnut or orange hose to the acetylene regulator, by turning the connector counterclockwise. Fix the adjustable wrench to the dimensions of the acetylene connector provided the magnitude differs from the O2 connector. Fully secure the connector to the acetylene regulator. Left-handed threads are sole on acetylene bottles to eliminate connecting the astray hose to the threaded nozzle of the acetylene bottle. Secure the acetylene regulator to the acetylene bottle.
4. Attach the green oxygen hose to the torch handle. Establish the adjustable wrench to fit on the connector. Fully tighten the connector to the O2 regulator. Attach the O2 regulator to the O2 bottle. Remember to turn the connector counter-clockwise to tighten the connector to the torch handle. Fully tighten the acetylene hose connector to the torch handle. Check all connections to ensure that each connection is tight.
5. Slowly open the valve on the oxygen bottle and then open the valve on the acetylene bottle. Pour soapy water over each connection. If the soapy water bubbles, check the connector that bubbled to ensure that the connection is tight. If the connector was tight, loosen and remove the connector. Check the threads of the connector and the nozzle for debris. Clean the threads of the connector with a clean rag. Reattach the connector. Turn on the gas and recheck the connector for leaks.
6. Turn off the oxygen regulator and then the acetylene regulator. The torch handles are safely connected and ready to use.
