Default Hose Setup With Combi Flashback Arrestor/Quick Connects

I'm setting up a home studio with an oxycon, tank propane, and a GTT Bobcat torch. I would like to keep line restrictions to a minimum. If I put a combi Flashback Arrestor/Quick Connect @ the torch head. What would I do to bleed the lines when I'm done? I was thinking the Quick Connected needed to be @ the tank to disconnect it after the bleed.

To bleed the lines, close the valve at the propane tank. Then open the valve at the torch to 'bleed' the gas pressure down.

There's really nothing to bleed with an oxycon. With the oxygen valve open at the torch, just shut off the oxycon.

Done.
