Multiple Torch Set Up

[HeatherH]

I am looking for some help on hooking up multiple torches.

My current setup is:
Oxygen with regulator, flashback arrestor, quick-release, hose (in garage)

Propane tank, regulator, flashback arrestor, quick-release, hose (in garage)

The hoses then run through wall into basement studio to Lynx torch


I wish to add a Beth PM2D and a Smith Little Torch to this set up. I will mostly be using one or the other of the Lynx & PM2D, but may have occasion to have both on at same time (ie. two people working). I would always like the option of having Smith Little torch available while using either of the Lynx or PM2D.

I need specific advise as to possible configuration, and connectors, hoses, etc needed to do such a set up.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sounds like you need a "manifold" or at least "Y" connectors...

IF you go with "Y" connectors, better ones to get are with shut off valves so only torch you are using at time has fuel/oxygen going to it...

Check out 101V and 102V on the above page...

Or drop down further in page and look at "manifold gas systems"...

NOT endorsing SUNDANCE but these are examples of what is available...

I've always found this part of the Arrow Springs site helpful. There is also a price list of the parts here

Here's a quick schematic of my current set-up:
