waianvil Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have a oxygen unit or cutting torch when someone else use torch unit they don't shut off the knobs by the regulators but they shut off by the torch units I know you are suppose to shut off the valves by the regulators but it drains both tanks is there possible a problem with the torch.

HWooldridge Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sure - one or both of the torch valves could be leaking. You might consider requiring whoever is using your torch to shut off the tanks every time they use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
