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👍
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.
I just watched the video and went out and set it up just like you said. I need to do some practice, but I got it to work the best I ever have. It all goes to show you have to have the right person as a tutor
Great Job! For viewers, a safety pointer I was taught is to always turn your face away from the gauges when initially cranking them open, especially if you haven’t used the tanks in a while. Even with the safety glasses (a must ). Thanks for the refresher. Thumbs up.👍
Thank you sir for your stellar instruction! I jotted notes on my pad and couldn't wait to get some practice in so I could feel comfortable using the equipment.👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
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. 👍
This was a very good tutorial. Especially the part where you showed how to adjust the flame when the trigger is depressed. Only thing that confuses me is how does the oxygen valve adjust the mixture when the trigger is depressed without messing up the mixture when you let the trigger go.
So thares 2 differnt oxegen ajustments the one on the bottom u put it fully on that will go to 2 places one the oxy fuel mix and the trigger while u press the trigger down it opens a hatch on the inside that lets the oxegen come to blow the metler out of the way while cutting.
@@jonathanfinger712 oh yea it makes sense. So one dial is to regulate oxygen mixture and the other one is to regulate how much oxygen comes out when you press the bypass trigger. So basically you can have two adjustments of oxygen instead of one.
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.
It’s totally confusing because half of the people turn acetylene off first, the other half turn oxygen off first. 🤷♂️who the hell knows ? Most informative video on how to set up the regulators.

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.
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.
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
Looks like the only thing he did wrong was the fact he lit the flame near the tanks flammable. And he turned on the acetylene before haveing the striker ready you want to have the striker right thare to light it right away but it is not a big deal
@@TyTy_Tech im litterly in welding class rn just finished the first year the first thing we did was ofc oxy fuel cutting if you want u can friend me on discord or something i could give alot of helpfull tips for welding and everything oxy fuel we did stick welding after that then we did mig and finished the year with tig the next few years we will work on perfecting them while doing all kinds off projects
josh ramirez the gauge closest to your bottle will tell you how much pressure is in your tank. I’m not sure what the specification is, but once it reaches a minimum value you will need to refill. You will have a hard time achieving a nice flame without proper pressures.
I bought the small kit (little bottles) I have about 3 good solid hours of cutting and welding to do -3/8 material- Will those little bottles be enough? Leaening to gas weld- I have 20 years with stick and Mig
