FAQs
What type of gas is this hose set designed for?
This hose set is specifically designed for oxyacetylene welding and cutting applications.
What size are the connections on the hoses?
The hoses are fitted with 3/8" BSP swivel unions.
Do these hoses have check valves?
Yes, the hoses are equipped with integrated check valves for enhanced safety.
What is the length of each hose?
Each hose in the set is 10 meters long.
Are these hoses compatible with other gas types like propane or MAPP gas?
This set is designed for oxyacetylene. For other gases, dedicated hoses with appropriate fittings and safety features are required.
How do I know which hose is for oxygen and which is for acetylene?
Typically, oxygen hoses are green and acetylene hoses are red. Always confirm by checking the markings on your regulators.
What is the weight of the hose set?
The net weight of the hose set is 4.65kg.
Troubleshooting
Hoses not connecting to equipment
Verify that your equipment uses 3/8" BSP fittings. If not, appropriate adapters may be required. Ensure you are using the correct hose for oxygen and acetylene.
Gas leaks at connections
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check for any debris on the fitting threads or sealing surfaces. Perform a leak test with soapy water and re-tighten or replace fittings if necessary.
Reduced gas flow
Check for kinks or blockages in the hose. Ensure the check valves are not obstructed. Verify that regulator pressures are set correctly.
Flashback or backfire occurring
Ensure check valves are functioning correctly and are not clogged. Verify correct regulator pressures and hose connections. Stop welding immediately, shut off gases, and inspect equipment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated safety features (check valves) reduce risk.
- Swivel unions prevent hose kinking and tangling.
- Generous 10m length offers flexibility in workspace.
- Meets international safety standards for peace of mind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your oxyacetylene regulator and torch connections are compatible with 3/8" BSP fittings.
- Connect the hose to the oxygen regulator (typically the green hose) and the acetylene regulator (typically the red hose) using the appropriate swivel unions. Ensure the connections are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Connect the other end of each hose to the corresponding inlet on your oxyacetylene welding torch.
- Before lighting, perform a leak test on all connections using soapy water.
Compatibility:
- This hose set is specifically designed for oxyacetylene gas welding and cutting.
- Fittings are 3/8" BSP. Ensure your regulators and torch have matching or adaptable connections.
- Check valve compatibility is with standard oxygen and acetylene pressures.
Care:
- Store hoses away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and sharp objects when not in use.
- Avoid dragging hoses across rough surfaces or sharp edges.
- Periodically inspect hoses for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.
- Keep the check valves clear of debris. Do not attempt to disassemble the check valves or unions.
