Description
Tee off of an existing OxyFuel hose with valves and fitting to connect a second torch. Can be mounted to a bench or wall with 2 wood screws ~3.5" long.
I use this in lampworking to add a second small hand torch (Smith Little Torch). Needle valves allow precise control of gas flow.
Assembly:
- Print as oriented. No supports needed.
- Connect fittings as shown in photos. Use gas Teflon tape or sealant on all NPT threads and check for leaks before assembling into the block
- Slide fitting assembly into printed block with the valve stems going in first through the circular holes.
- Add back piece and secure with 4x M3 flat head screws.
- Add hoses to barb fittings and secure with hose clamps.
- Secure block to your bench or wall with 2x 3.5" wood screws
- Attach your new torch to the B-size fittings
- Note1: The fitting with notches is reverse thread for your fuel gas line.
- Note2: B-size fittings DO NOT need Teflon tape on the flare side. The seal is made by the flare and tape can cause leaks here
