oxy/ lpg cutting torch

[Sberry]

I use 1 /4. I have added the smaller one as a whip. I need to fet new.

And the flow needed for cutting a specific thickness is part of the math, too. I didn't look for a chart, but it can be found with a bit of Googling.

I use 100 ft on them for years.

But what diameter.... If he just adds another 25 feet of 3/16 (which comes with the set) isn't flow going to be come effected... I really think with the longer the distance the larger the diameter of the hose needs to be to not adversely effect flow....

Check torch specs many of newer torches have them (flash back arrestors) built in....

LPG (propane) uses a different tip than acetylene, "but" you may get buy with acetylene tips...Usually orifices are bigger for propane tips.. ...

then cutting tips, same question for the tips. ???

50' isn't all that far. I'm sure I can find a chart somewhere, and it may or may not agree, but a 1/4" Grade T hose will probably do the job fine.

[Dale M.]

You probably want larger diameter hose...

Be aware the 250 set comes with 3/16 x 25 ft grade "R" hose (Acetylene only) ...

Better hose option would be a 50 foot 3/8 hose and Grade "T" (all fuels including LPG), Grade "R" hose is for Acetylene only.

If not 3/8 maybe 1/4 inch...
