You will need the following items from your welding shop:

Assuming you have 1/4" T grade hose, you will need two (2) Western Part # 17 (hose barb) (if you have 5/16 hose (not likely), it is part # 216) (if you have 3/8 hose, it is part # 20)

You will need one (1) Western #7 Oxygen Nut and one (1) Western # 8 Fuel Gas Nut.

You will also need hose clamps, I prefer seeing people not use the rotary clamp type, instead, see if they have the Oetiker twin ear hose clamps. These can be tightened to the hose using a pair of end nippers or a large diagonal cutter.

The information can be found here: http://mikeaurelius.wordpress.com/20...ding-fittings/

That being said...National torches are notorious oxygen hogs, and I'm not sure a concentrator is going to work with that particular torch.
