AIR SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING AIR SUPPLY TO UNIT
The connection is the same for compressed air or
industrial compressed air in gas cylinders.
Connect the gas line to the compressed air input
inlet port at the appropriate pressure.
REDUCER VALVE SETTINGS
Steps for reducer setting are as follows:
Start the gas flow and lift the pressure control knob
upwards.
Adjust the gas pressure to the desired value by
rotating the knob (rotate to “+” direction to increase
gas pressure; rotate to “-” direction to reduce gas
pressure); press down the pressure control knob
to lock in place.
Drain the water by turning the drain knob when
there is too much water in the reducer valve.
Note: For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the
fitting threads, according to manufacturer's
instructions.
Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer, as small
particles of the tape may break off and block the
small gas passages in the torch.
USING INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSED AIR IN GAS
CYLINDERS
When using Industrial compressed air in gas
cylinders as the gas supply:
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for
installation and maintenance procedures for
high pressure gas regulators.
2. Examine the cylinder valves to be sure they
are clean and free of oil, grease or any
foreign material. Briefly open each cylinder
valve to blow out any dust which may be
present.
3. The cylinder must be equipped with an
adjustable high - pressure regulator capable of
outlet pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar)
maximum and flows of at least 300 scfh
(141.5 lpm).
4. Connect gas supply hose to the cylinder.
Note: For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the
fitting threads, according to manufacturer's
instructions.
Do Not use Teflon tape as a thread sealer, as small
particles of the tape may break off and block the
small gas passages in the torch.
