Its simple.... Bring a hose off the outlet of each oxycon, joint these two hoses to two of the three connections of a "Tee" or "Y" connector, connect third outlet of the "Tee" or "Y" to torch hose....

These can be all push on connectors and inexpensive vinyl tubing or very expensive all threaded connectors (which is sort of over kill)...

If you connect your green oxygen hose directly to the T or Y, you will have to cut off the brass B-fitting (if it is still there). If you do not want to do this, you can make an adaptor with a short length of tubing attached to the T/Y, a Christmas tree adaptor plugged into the end of that, and a B to B fitting to screw into the Christmas tree adaptor to fit into the brass B fitting of the green oxygen hose.

Alternatively, you could do away with the green oxygen hose and just use a long length of 1/4" ID airline tubing to go from the connection T/Y straight to the torch. The 1/4" ID tubing will fit onto the inlet barbs of the torch
