I have the small, portable oxy-acetylene torch setup that I use occasionally, and so far for only heating. I’ve replaced two MC 10cf tanks in last two weeks—one was empty when I swapped for it, and the replacement I think wasn’t full either. And a 1 1/2 hour drive. I’m considering switching to propane now as those tanks are 5 min. from me. In reading I believe I need to buy hoses meant for propane, probably a new regulator, and a cutting tip for propane. Right? And I believe I need to install flame arrestors?
I have a #6 rosebud tip that I’ve used before, but further study has told me my small acet tank can’t really run with it very well and could be dangerous. I’m not sure what type my hoses are now—some things I’ve read detail others using them fine with propane, and I read the propane starts their deterioration…
Would the 6 rosebud work with the propane “BBQ style” tanks? Or can I heat with the cutting torch?
Many thanks.
