Oxy/Propane Brazing Torch Equipment
I just realized I never documented the components of my oxygen/propane brazing torch setup. I spent a lot of time researching this stuff, so I want to post it to hopefully help the next person seeking something similar...
- Hoke Jeweler's Torch, Oxy/Propane, with 5 tips ($42.50)
- Premier Industries 2300.510 LP regulator ($64.00)
- 12' of 1/4" T-grade hoses with B-fittings at one end ($34.00)
- Flashback arrestor set ($75.00)
- Nellcor Puritan Bennett 590 Oxygen Concentrator (~$250 used)
- 20lb propane tank (~$60, or borrow from your BBQ grill)
(Total ~$525)
You can find better, light-weight hoses -- or cheaper prices on similar hoses -- but I didn't want to spend the extra overhead of buying multiple items from multiple vendors. Premier had the regulator I wanted -- plus everything else -- so I just bought everything from them to keep things simple. I bought the oxygen-concentrator via my local Craigslist. I already had the propane tank, but you can get one from someplace like a Blue Rhino tank exchange for about $60.
