How To Save The Cost Of A New Acetylene Or Oxygen Hose
 ✖  |
Dennis Strahle, Eagle, Mich.: “I was in the shop late one evening and turned on the acetylene. Gas promptly spewed out at me from a crack in the hose next to the head where the hose flexes. The rest of the hose was in good condition. A little investigation showed that the hose outer diameter fit nicely inside of a 1/2-in. copper tube and that the copper tube fit nicely into my PEX crimp tool. I cut off the original brass crimp on the cracked hose, cut away 6 in. back to fresh hose, slid on the piece of 1/2-in.copper pipe, and crimped it. I liked the fix so much I did the same thing on the oxygen hose, too. Should be good for many years and saved the cost of a new hose.”
