using a propane hose for oxy???

[Refined with Fire]

hi all,

i have 2 concentrators i need to hook up to 1 torch.
i have a brass y valve and a brand new set of hoses.

i was wondering if i could use both of the new hoses that are bundled together for oxygen.

is there any differnce beteen the hoses than the outside color?
are both created the same on the inside?

the propane or red hose i would be using for oxy has never been used, is comepletely clean and has never had gas run thru it.

what do you think?
or do i have to buy yet another set of hoses?

thanks,
teresa

The propane connector turns the opposite direction, so you would have to cut the ends off and use hosebarb adapters. I use clear tubing from my Y to my concentrators.



The Oxy hose is connected to the bottom of the Y. You can get the clear tubing for a couple of $$ at Home Depot.

HI again!

I need to connect 2 oxygen concentrators.

I have a new Y connect with 2 male ends that Y into 1 female end.

I have no idea what to do next!

do you have christmas tress on your concentrators?.

i am clueless.

No. I had to buy adapters just like the ones at the top of the Y connector in the photo and 2 check valves. Check valves (AKA backflow valves) are used to keep are from flowing in the wrong direction. Essential if your concentrators do not have the same PSI. You should have them, even if they do, just in case.
