Why were the connections changed to Type 27 pigtails?

These new valves significantly reduce the chance of incorrectly connecting the hose to the gas bottle allowing gas to escape and causing a potential fire risk. They do not allow gas to escape without a correctly installed compatible hose. 

Can I order oxygen and map-pro together?

They cannot be shipped in the same container due to the DG sub-class as 5.1 which is incompatible with DG class 2.1 products.

Can I braze and weld with this cylinder?

Yes, we have an oxyset that can be used with the 1L cylinder. It has part number 1811167-2. More information can be found on our website.

What regulator can I use when using the Bromic oxygen cylinder?

Our 1811172-1 oxygen regulator has an M12 inlet to connect to the bottles and a 3/8” G RH connection for a hose. It has 2 gauges, 1 for the flow and another for the cylinder pressure. This regulator is compatible with oxysets branded Bromic, Ambro and Oxyturbo. This regulator is not compatible with Tradeflame (M10), Dynaweld (M10), Bernzomatic (CGA600) or Hot Devil (CGA600) oxysets. 

Can the natural gas appliance regulators be installed indoors?

Yes, the natural gas appliance regulators (item number: 6160788 and 6160785) can be installed in cupboards or outside for a BBQ.

What is the vent on the natural gas regulator for?

When using the natural gas appliance regulators (item number 6160788 and 6160785) the vent is for air, not gas. (If gas can be smelt from this, there is a puncture in the diaphragm and must be replaced). The vent allows the diaphragm to move up and down to allow the gas to flow. Through the regulator. If this is blocked, the gas will either be blocked from flowing or will not be able to stop flowing depending on how the diaphragm is stuck. The yellow cap should be left on to prevent dust or insects from blocking the hole. 

How do I clean LA-CO TOT up in the case of a spill?

What is the maximum pressure of gas that can be used with TOT sealed pipe?
