Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 86145 is a premium-grade oxy-acetylene twin hose assembly designed for use with oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting systems. The hose measures 25 feet in length with a 1/4-inch diameter, providing adequate reach for stationary and portable torch setups. Color-coded for safety, the red hose supplies acetylene fuel gas and the green hose supplies oxygen. The assembly is built to resist kinks, heat, weather exposure, and solvent contact, reducing the risk of premature hose failure in demanding shop and field environments. Installation and service are typically performed by licensed welding technicians or pipefitters familiar with compressed gas system requirements.

This twin hose assembly is suited for residential and commercial welding, cutting, brazing, and heating applications using oxy-acetylene torch equipment. It is intended exclusively for use with acetylene fuel gas and oxygen it is not rated for other fuel gases such as propane or natural gas. Typical install scenarios include connecting a torch handle to oxygen and acetylene regulators mounted on cylinder carts or wall-manifold systems in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service operations.

Key Features

25-foot length provides extended reach for stationary and portable torch work
1/4-inch hose diameter for standard oxy-acetylene torch fittings
Color-coded: red for acetylene, green for oxygen reduces gas mix-up risk
Premium-grade construction resists kinks, heat, weather, and solvents
Rated for acetylene fuel gas and oxygen service only not for alternate fuel gases
Twin-hose design keeps both supply lines organized and tangle-resistant

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard oxy-acetylene torch systems and regulators. Suitable for oxygen and acetylene gas service only. Not compatible with propane, natural gas, or other alternative fuel gas systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welding technician or pipefitter with experience in compressed gas systems. Always close cylinder valves and bleed all pressure from the hoses before connecting or disconnecting. Inspect hose fittings for proper thread engagement and check for leaks using an approved leak-detection solution before lighting the torch. Follow all applicable compressed gas safety codes and the cylinder and equipment manufacturer guidelines during setup and service.
