I made these for my leads and my hose years ago. They were very much like yours and served me well for thirty-five years on four rigs. I'm retired, but old habits die hard. I'm rigging up another truck right now. Nice job on that!🙋👍
Use quick connects one hose goes in each side then use a small chain and a crank handle. Done Ive been trying to find a better connectors but it works fine
Have you ever thought about using car wash swivels for the overhead of car wash bays. They will stand acid soap if you get truck car wash so they will stand the oxygen acetylene that way you can use them as the actual spindles on each end and run your hose to their then you can screw your hose in and don't have to worry about unplugging and plugging it back in? Just thought I would ask if anybody ever thought of that?
Do you have a short set of hoses built to go from the regulators to the quick connects or do you unwind all the way to hook up to the bottles? New to welding. Putting together my first rig. I have used several of your videos in my build so far. Thanks for all the help.
No reason not to but you’ll need to isolate it and/or add a quick disconnect. If you’re running amperage thru the bearings, they will eventually wear out.
