Hi guys
Can someone offer me some advice please?
I am just in the process of setting up my new O/A kit - I put the regulator on the Oxy and Acetylene tanks with no issue.
Doing a leak detector test the Oxy is fine but the Acet is leaking badly from regulator to bottle connection. I have tightened it as much as I dare. It leaks so badly that you can see the pressure guage falling with the regulator closed.
Looking closely at the Acet bottle threads there is a small gouge at the very back of the threads. I can only think this has been caused by a piece of grit or similar.
Could this be the cause of my problems?
Many thanks
Will
