Things I have learned: You CAN transport Acetylene horizontally in you pickup (need ventilation) but it needs to stand upright 2x as long as it was laying down. Grade T hose can be used for any fuel while Grade R hose is for Acetylene only there are a few others but for welding they aren't applicable. Hose for oxygen has 9/16"-18 female fittings with right-hand threads.Hose for acetylene has 9/16"-18 female fittings with left-hand threads. My outfit: Several Vie grips Several C clamps Vwr Multi stage Acetylene regulator Vwr Multi stage Oxygen regulator Consumables: Flux coated bronze brazing rods Things Needed: Hose adapters DHC 2000 Fire Bricks Tig Wire Flux Log: 04/09/15 I decided to go with dual stage regulators since they were cheap on ebay. I'm pretty sure I didn't need a 2 stage for acetylene, but considering these last nearly forever, it's better and cheaper to get it than to figure out I need it later on and buy another. Most of the work I plan on doing will be very small and the need for precision goes up. With A 2 stage O2 regulator I know for sure even with smaller bottles that the pressure won't change while I'm working and one less problem to deal with. Since there are used they do not have the correct fittings to go to welding hose. So I think I need a hose coupling from here.
