Another Gas Torch Question

[Parm]

I've got a Hi Lo shank which I've checked is suitable with Oxy Propane. I've ordered a mixer and a couple of swagged blow pipes to get me going. Both the FBs on the regs and the connection on the torch handle have 3/8 fittings. Reverse thread for the fuel gas.

What size of hose do I need, I have seen 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 internal diameter. Kit will only be used for light duty home hobby use soldering, heating etc

Any help much appreciated

i use 3/8. Whether its right or not is another thing though

Cool, I have just ordered some 3/8 hose with check valves and properly crimped fittings, only needed 3m length but ready made 5m worked out cheaper, happy days.

Now to find a source of cheap rent free oxygen

i got mine from Adams gas. Only really chose them as my local motor factors stock their gasses and i spent more time in their ordering bits for my fiesta than anything else. Cant remember the price off the top of my head
