  1. Having just found this bumped thread in 2012, the videos don't seem to exist as videos, just a one image shot. At least that is where my browser takes me. Are these videos still available to view somewhere? Please?
  2. Morning all, I just received an early xmas gift (so that I can finish the gifts I am making) of a Smith Gasaver to enable me to keep my torch on without stopping and starting after chasing and sinking sheet. I have read thoroughly the instructions and have looked at Smith's site and can not find an answer to this question: what hoses do I use to connect the regulators to the Gasaver? "Gasaver Instruction and Parts" states under INSTALLATION in 2B: "Connect the fuel gas hose from the regulator (Grooved Nut) to the connection marked 'INLET-L.H.' and the oxegen hose from the regulator (Smooth Nut) to the connection marked 'INLET-R.H.' " (italics mine) Later, of course, it says to attach the torch hoses to the respective Gasaver outlets on the other side. It seems to me that I need to purchase a new short set of hoses with appropriate type hose connections. Is this right? What sort? Thanks so much for any help. Michal
  3. Thank you so much for these answers. I will take them to my propane guy and see if he would work within those parameters. My other concern is that my village is almost hostile to outsiders (i.e. me and other folk that don't come from around here) and is very unlikely to grant any special permits. The last time I tried to get a permit to build an extension onto my garage (shop) I got a letter from the village president siting me for violations for what could be in my yard, as in the steel and "debris" that I wanted to put inside the addition. I'd hate to go down the road of being accused of harboring propane.
  4. The above is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. I have a 100# tank as recommended by Chili Forge but want to have it outside. I would be happy to have two regulators and would like a steel pipe with emergency shut off inside. I will take this answer to the propane guy and I guess to another propane guy... Another friend suggested I ask a plumber to place the pipe to my exact specifications and that I then "do" the illegal hookup. So far, I don't know what the "exact specs" would be and of course I don't want to void my homeowner policy. BTW, I already use a small propane tank inside in an adjacent studio for my glass torch. I check it regularly with soapy water and have fire extinguishers near by. But this situation is also risky (duh!) and 10 years ago when I set it up I also couldn't get anyone to run pipe to a high pressure regulator inside. I live with that danger but it is a 40# tank and there are no flying sparks. Any more suggestions? Thanks so much.
  5. I am trying to set up my new Chili forge. My local propane guy says that it is against the law (I am in WI) for him to install my propane tank outside with piping to the inside because it is high pressure and it is dangerous. (Chili recommends 9-15 psi working pressure.) He is only allowed to install pipe for up to 5 psi and that is only with a special permit. He said most residential uses are at .5 psi. Now, of course, having the tank inside is even more dangerous. I have tried to research this to find out what others have done and to find a solution. Please tell me what I am missing here. What do all of you do? Thanks so much.
