Default Glass and Silversmithing

Next studio set-up question now that I got some answers re: the regulators... I am excited to set up my Smith Little Torch. I have 1 oxy tank and 1 propane tank - can I pick up the "Y connection with valves" (1 for oxy and 1 for propane) and attach my Minor torch and Smith Little torch?? I have been trying to read and understand if the PSI for the 2 torches matches or if this will be an issue. Can anyone offer up any advice based on knowledge and/or experience? I will cross post this in the "silverwork and metal clay" thread as well.

Thanks!
Annie

I have Y splitters on my oxycon and propane tank and it works just fine. I don't change the PSI, I leave it the same all the time. I do leave the oxygen knob on my glass torch open all the time though, even when using my Little Smith torch. Not sure if this makes a difference. My Little Smith torch seems to get hot enough to do the job.
