All good tips I will take. I had seen that really the only thing that would need to be changed is the tip if using a cutting torch but obviously there is more to it as usual. Still worth the change over though I think. I'm cleaning up an extra torch body I have to devote just to melts. Unfortunately the rosebud tip I have doesn't fit on this body so I'll have to get another one or use one of the many brazing tips I have that do fit. I could use a cutting torch but I would be tempted to hit the oxygen lever so I'd prefer to use a separate torch body instead since I have one.I found this:
The least you’ll need

- You WILL need to change your Acetylene Regulator to a Propane type (including for Propylene).
- You WILL need to change your Acetylene Hose to a Propane Hose (including for Propylene).
- You will need to check the label on your Flash Arrestor, if it says “Fuel”, it’s OK to use with Propane & Propylene. If it says “Acetylene” you will need to change it for a “Fuel” type.
- Your Torch SHOULD be OK for Acetylene, Propane or Propylene, ours certainly are, but if in doubt, you should check with the manufacturer. DON’T TAKE RISKS WITH GAS!!!!
