* Applicable for 3-hose machine cutting torches only. With a 2-hose cutting torch, preheat pressure is set by the cutting oxygen..

** For best results use ST1600C-STU-ST1900C or ST2600FC series torches and 3/8" hose when tip size 6 or larger. Torches with flashback arrestors require up to 25% more pressure as tip size increases (15 PSI maximum acetylene pressure).

*** All Pressures are measured at the regulator using 25' x 3/8" hose for tip sizes 6 and larger.

CAUTION At no time should the withdrawal rate of an individual acetylene cylinder exceed 1/7 of the cylinder contents. If additional flow capacity is required, use an acetylene manifold system of sufficient size to supply the necessary volume.
