using an acetyene regulator on propane
I just talked to Victor customer service. I called them to find out if I can use
their medium duty single stage acetylene regulator, no. SR-260A, on a propane tank. They told me the following: Both acetylene and propane cylinders use a CGA 510 connector (aka a POL fitting) so you can generally use an acetylene regulator on a propane tanks but most acetylene regulators are set up for the range 2-15 psi so if you plan to use more propane than that you should either get your acetylene regulator modified to use a stronger spring and different gauge or you should use a regulator set up for propane. In addition, once you use a regulator for propane (which leaves tarry residue inside) you should not go back to acetylene with that regulator. As this has come up here before, I thought I'd pass this along for comment or FYI. GWE |
