Ivory is one of the few soaps without a petroleum component. Only use approved bubble testers from your local welding shop or just Ivory soap to test for leaks. Any trace of petroleum or oil is explosive in the presence of pure oxygen.
Damn. It’s been more than a few yrs since I used one of these, so about to use one and figured it’d be a good freshener…taught me more here than the dude who taught me all those yrs ago. Awesome job
Most informative young man. He shits on people three times his age. Nobody has ever mentioned before that you turn the knob clockwise to open the flow and anticlockwise to close the flow. This is crucial information. I had them turned fully clockwise thinking that they were closed like every other tap on the planet and that was wrong. They were fully opened. When the oxygen went to my cutting gun and I closed the tap on the cutting gun the pressure burst my hose. I nearly shit myself it was as loud as a shotgun blast next to your ear. Thank you for your video Tyler. 👍
Most informative video on how to set up the regulators. You are the only person that I have seen so far to tell me that turning the regulator tap clockwise opens the flow. Normally clockwise closes the flow. I thought it was like every other tap and I’ve burst my hoses because i had them fully opened when I thought they were closed.
The complete setting up tutorial, most I've seen just jumpstart on setting on the flame and oxy without turning the correct right gauze pressure numbers.
Unfortunately, all 'good' instruction minus the shutdown procedure. What was presented was 100% incorrect. You always turn OFF THE OXYGEN first. The science is behind the ratio and how it can reverse pop/burn back into the tip. The correct way is to distinguish Oxygen FIRST. The AWS, Smith AND Victor all say this according to their instructions and accepted by OSHA. Look it up.
All I know is I do this for a living except I cut huge industrial sized machines & up to about 2.5-3ft of solid metal at a time and I have also never had a problem whatsoever with turning it off anyway
So, it's only for cutting? I have one of these. No clue how to use it-except now! 😂 Thanks for the leaking line tip. I can test it before I sell this. Anyone give me an idea of what I should ask? It's got the lighter thing, gloves, 2 tanks, full face mask, hoses, some white powder in a jar my husband tells me is flux but I don't know, the torch or tip-whatever it's called, gauges and containers with "1/8" brass and steel wire" and "1/16" wire." Garage kept so no rust. Thanks!
Yes, this is for cutting steel. Your setup sounds like it's for brazing, a type of welding using rods and flux (the powder). Look up how to braze metal.
Ive ben useing torch before he was born and watched this to see if i was tought right .i use to like the torch with just 2 nobs never cared for the 2 oxygen nobs
I've been in construction for 32 years... I used to get my information from the library using the Dewey Decimal System to locate where in the building filled with thousands of books I could find the book that I was looking for that was going to give me the information I needed... Then they developed the Internet which was useful for a brief period of time until it became peppered with information that couldn't give you what you were looking for based upon the title of the page you went to. This guy rocks! Tells you what you need to know - and just that! Rock on👍
