crawlin cruiser 05-08-2002, 12:30 PM Was cutting up a frame when all of a sudden my flame went out. Handel got hot and oxygen gauge went nuts. I then turned off the tanks. All of a sudden the oxyen hose exploded. Broken hose whatever, not my concern. My question is, is my regulator fuct or my check valves? Dan ol John Henry 05-08-2002, 12:42 PM could be both..but prolly the check valve:D mytzlflick 05-08-2002, 01:22 PM definitly replace the check valves after something like that, if in doubt take the regulators in to a shop and have them checked when you get the new hoses. just as a thought I run check valves at both ends of the hose, makes it harder for a flame to get into the hose in the first place.

They are the ones that stay and watch the regulators burn!":skull: gunracer1 05-08-2002, 03:04 PM check your torch out, there is a reason that it burned back, more than likely the o rings are shot in the torch head to main body connector. | |
