what is acetylene?
how much do you turn the oxygen valve before use
what is 1/16th of an inch?
this is a protective flame resistant protective pierce that goes on the torso before welding

You should never use gas from a cylinder that does not have this specific item attached to reduce the high tank pressure down to a safe working pressure.
what is a regulator?
To prevent a dangerous chemical breakdown of the gas inside, acetylene cylinders must always be stored and used in this specific position.
What is an upright (or vertical) position?
