Hoses
The following hose conditions will cause problems:
•
Obstructions in hoses will reduce the flow of oxygen and fuel gas
and upset the flame balance. Blow out hoses with compressed air
before connecting them.
•
Make sure there is no oil or dust in the hoses. Oil or grease in the
hoses, especially the oxygen hose, can cause a fire.
•
In an old worn hose, the lining may come loose and plug up the
hose. Inspect and replace damaged hoses.
•
Do not overtighten hose fittings. If a hose fittings is overtightened,
the stem in the male fitting may collapse. This reduces the flow of
gases and causes the same problems as obstructions in the
hoses.
•
The gun-end connections of the two gas hoses are most likely to
be damaged. If the hole in the stem is the correct size, the back of
a #43 drill (.089" or 2.2 mm diameter) should slip easily into the
stems at the gun end of the gas hoses.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD!
Always make sure the
hoses are free of oil or
grease. Oil or grease in
the hoses, especially
the oxygen hose, can
cause a fire.
