Choosing the right oxy-fuel torch kit depends on the job. Cutting steel, heating metal, brazing and lead welding all need slightly different setups, so matching the kit to the work is important.

Adams Gas supplies oxy-propane and oxy-propylene kits for trade, workshop and mobile use, alongside fuel-gas regulators, oxygen cylinders and refill options.

Propane or Propylene?

Both propane and propylene can be used for cutting, heating and brazing.

Propane is a cost-effective option for regular heating and cutting, while propylene produces a hotter flame and can reach working temperature more quickly.

You can view the available propylene cylinders and oxygen cylinders online.

Which Torch Kit Do You Need?

For steel cutting, the Oxygen Propylene Heavy Duty Cutting Kit is designed for sustained cutting work.

For bending, pre-heating and freeing seized components, the Oxygen and Propylene Heating Kit provides a broader flame.

For plumbing, roofing and heritage work, the Oxygen Propane/Propylene Lead Welding Kit gives greater flame control for more precise work.

What Else Will You Need?

Depending on the kit, you may also need:

• A propane or propylene regulator

• An oxygen regulator

• Oxygen and fuel-gas cylinders

• Spare nozzles

• Brazing rods or flux

The Propane/Propylene Regulator is designed for use with these fuel gases.

Always check the individual kit specification before ordering.

Choosing Cylinder Sizes

Cylinder size should reflect how often the equipment is used.

Smaller oxygen and propylene bottles suit mobile engineers, plumbers and occasional users, while larger cylinders are generally more practical for workshops carrying out regular cutting and heating work.

Adams Gas offers refill and exchange options, allowing users to change cylinder size as their requirements develop.

Safe Oxy-Fuel Use

Correct regulators, hoses, nozzles and flashback arrestors should always be used.

Cylinders must be kept upright and secure, connections checked for leaks and work carried out in a properly ventilated area.

Rent-Free Gas Supply

Adams Gas offers rent-free cylinder options for many gases, helping trade users avoid ongoing cylinder rental charges.

Gas can be ordered for delivery or collected through the nationwide Adams Gas stockist network.
