Howdy all,
I have an Oxy-MAPP Torch kit. Its a small torch using disposable tanks. It works very well and it was fairly inexpensive.
My only complaint is the oxygen runs out really fast ( 30 mins tops if used conservativly ) and at 8 bucks a pop for a new oxy tank, it gets expensive.
I have a full size oxy tank, like the kind welders use with their oxy acetelyne torches. My question is...Can I hook this to my small torch kit? Will this work? I would need some kind of adapter to connect them. The Regulator that connects to my disposable tanks has a left handed thread and is a smaller size fitting than the larger tanks.
I have looked everywhere I can think to find an adapter to no avail.
I had the idea of connecting using an old disposible tank. I drilled a hole in it and welded a fitting to it, allowing me to connect a line to the large oxy tank. I could then connect the regulator to the left handed threaded disposable tank. ( Yes I am cheap as well as impatient..LOL)
Will this work? I have not applied this idea as of yet.
Will I blow my shop up...EEEKK !!
Thanks any help will be appreciated.
