GTT torch settings???

[jokersdesign]

Hello,

I was wondering if those of you that use a GTT torch or have used a GTT torch could tell me what torch you used and what Gas and Oxygen settings you used?

Also does anybody know what GTT officially recommends for setting for each one of their torches?

Would be nice to have the stats on a website, but they don't... The Mirage should be set at 35 PSI Oxygen and 6-7 PSI propane. Other than that one torch, I have no friggin clue. :lol:

Yeah Mr. Smiley,

I wish GTT and other would post their torch stats on they websites like Bethlehem does. http://www.bethlehemburners.com/

I emailed GTT about the Phantom and Mirage settings and the sent an email back with these settings.

Phantom
Gas = 8-10 psi Oxygen = 25 psi

Mirage
Gas = 10 psi Oxygen = 30-35 psi

I thought that these setting where high even for GTT torches so I wanted other GTT users to share what settings they got their GTT torch set at.

Another question, why are GTT torches setting so much higher then other torches?

GTT sends an instruction sheet with each new torch and the recommended settings are listed on it. The big torches (Phantom on up) also come with a video.

The settings are higher because the orifices are smaller, thus requiring higher pressures to force gas and oxy out. They do not use more fuel or oxygen, they just need it pushed through at a higher pressure.

When I run my Phantom, I run the propane at about 8 psi and the oxygen at 25 psi. It is safe to run higher pressures. The valves are very high quality.

I run my GTT torch between 8- 10 psi for propane and anywhere from 30-40 psi oxygen...and I only work with soft glass.

I run my mirage between 5-10ish propane and 25-35PSI oxy, depending on which colors im using, and the flame enviroment i want.
