Default Foot Pedal connection help

I just got a Phantom and Rockit foot pedal. I want to feed the inner fire O2 from oxygen concentrators. I am not sure how to connect and/or block the outlet ports from the pedal.

Option 1
connect the propane supply to the foot pedal and outlet 1 to inner fire propane port and outlet 2 to outerfire port.

connect O2 tank supply to foot pedal inlet and plug outlet 1 and connect outlet 2 to the outerfire port

Option 2
split the propane supply hose, connect one side the torch inner fire port and the other side to the foot pedal inlet, then plug outlet #1 and connect outlet #2 to the outerfire port.

same as option 1 for the O2

Option3
a better way? or combo of above? Please advise.

with one that looks like this
http://www.glasscraftinc.com/home/gl...gleproductfeed

then your option 1 will work as long as you plug that outlet 1 go. they are 1/4 thread brass fittings that you can get at most hard ware store they make plugs the one in this picture has a square head but they make different heads this option would be easiest for later resale.

or you could get a 1/4 female to 1/4 hose barb

and replace the t fitting with it on the pipe coming out of the petal




Option 1
connect the propane supply to the foot pedal and outlet 1 to inner fire propane port and outlet 2 to outer fire port.

connect O2 tank supply to foot pedal inlet and plug outlet 1 and connect outlet 2 to the outerfire port

If the pedal already has the T's built in to split the gas and o2 lines you should only need one of the cap plugs. To cap off the O2 outlet coming off the T on the o2 side that would normally go out to your inner fire o2 on the torch.

Then you just run the o2 hose from your concentrator to the inner fire o2 input on the torch.

Then you can still run your tanked o2 threw your pedal to your outer flame.
and the can be hooked up to the pedal and still use the T to branch off to your 2 gas inputs on the torch.

BTW you can usually get them cap plugs at any hardware store.
