Default WTB Single Fuel Hose

Can anyone tell me where to by a single fuel hose ? I want to hook up my Hot Head to bulk MAPP. I've found one at Arrow Springs, but they are clear across the country and I'm impatient.

My Fuel supplier was concerned about how to mount the torch but from what info I can get you can use L bracket and a couple of screw clamps sort of like I did with 1 lb. tanks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks to all on this site you have taught me so much and I's so impressed with all of your work. Thanks!

Sherry

You should be able to find something at a welding shop. Otherwise you could by a set of hoses and split them or just use one.

I'm also going to move this out of the garage sale...hopefully to a place that others will see for your question

You can also get them at a RV supply.
Be sure to get it long enough to run from outside to your torch.
I use the Creation station....easy hook up and steady hands!!!

My gas supplier that supplies my bulk gas made one for me. Any welding shop should be able to make one for you any length you would like. Take you hot head torch in so they can match the connection..

To mount I use a small screw clamp and hook it to my "L" bracket works great

Almost all major RV centers carry them. If you should have a Bass Pro or Cabellas near you they both carry them. The ones at Wal Mart that I have seen are either 4 or 6 ft. I use a 12 ft and run it thru a window while working. That keeps the tank mounted to a stand outside. I got mine at United RV. They have many locations around the country. I have 2 L brackets mounted on my bench. One straight ahead and the other offset at an angle. This gives me a different view, depending on what I am working on. Hope this helps.
