So i just got a brand new Knight Dragon Master torch. Now i can finnaly do what i have been talking about for awhiole now and move the CC to a second station for buddys to use . My first question is how to go about t-ing off my oxy and propane to accomidate this? I have a liquid o2 and a 20lb propane tank. I know i need to get t adaptors for the lines but where do i put them in for the best performance (least taxing on my torch) I don't want the second station to crank up the oxy and it effect me, and i don't care if my adjustments effect the second station (just a spot for buddys to try it out and such) .Please help on this

Check your local welding or ask your oxy place to sell you a liquid oxy reg splitter then go to a bbq supply store and get and propane reg splitter. Then your set..., hook up the new lines and your ready to go........that is if you have 2 oxy regs and 2 propane regs . If you want to go the cheaper route use T slitters in the lines ,you will get a lot more fluxuation this way but regs aren't cheap good ones start at like 80- 100. If you do go the cheaper route run 1 set of lines to the station and split it up under the table,this will save you money and time setting up.

Make sure that your hose size is accomadating 1/4" hose should not go further than 4' if longer
size up to 3/8 can extend to 6' to be sure you have enough volume. you should also have duel stage
regulators. you may want to put in black pipe or rigid as alot of you know it. but shouldnt be necassary if you arent going over a total of 10' of tubing. this is not absolute but for the best performance this is what i recomend. do a search on the bertoulli equation, also go to glass alchemy
site and read the article on torch setup. I think wet canvas has a few how to's as well hope this helps
