* Applicable for 3-hose machine cutting torches only. With a 2-hose cutting torch,

preheat pressure is set by the cutting oxygen.

** For best results use straight cutting torch and 3/8" hose when using tip size 6 or

larger. Torches with ﬂashback arrestors require up to 25% more pressure as the

tip size increases (15 PSI maximum acetylene pressure).

*** All pressures are measured at the regulator using 25' x 3/8" hose for tip sizes 6

and larger.
