Hoses for TWO oxy concentrators?

[KAS]

Hi everyone.. I bought a boro beginner's kit from Brent. I have a minor torch and one oxy concentrator hooked to it. I happen to have a second oxy concentrator (back-up). Are hoses available that have TWO oxy hookups and one for the propane? If so, anyone know where a set can be purchased? Thanks bunches! Kathleen

You can use 1/4" clear plastic hose and spliter you can get at Home Depot then in to the 1 hose.It is very low presure so heavy hose isn't needed.

Make sure that your concentrators are putting out the same psi before you hook them together with just tubing and a splitter. If one is putting out significantly more psi than the other, there can be so much pressure in the line that the weaker concentrator will not be able to push its oxygen into the line, creating a backpressure situation for itself causing it to alarm and shut down. Even if that pressure is relieved, the higher pressure machine can still push its oxygen upstream of the weaker concentrator and cause a similar backpressure effect.
