Harris Port-A-Torch NO Tanks 4400176

The Harris 4400176 Port-A-Torch is a portable oxy fuel torch kit supplied without cylinders.

Buying an outfit without cylinders suits several situations. A contractor may already hold cylinders, may prefer to source gas locally, or may operate a cylinder exchange arrangement with a supplier.

Cylinder supply is worth thinking about as an ongoing arrangement rather than a purchase. Gas cylinders are commonly leased or exchanged rather than owned, and the terms affect running costs significantly. Rental charges accrue whether the cylinder is used or not, so cylinders sitting idle cost money.

Availability matters equally. A cylinder that must be exchanged at a supplier some distance away, during business hours, becomes a constraint on the work when it runs empty at the wrong moment.

Carrying a spare of each gas avoids the situation where a job stops for want of gas, and the cost of the spare is generally less than the cost of an abandoned visit.

Cylinder handling requirements apply throughout. Cylinders must be secured upright in the vehicle and at the workplace, transported with valve caps fitted, kept away from heat, and stored in ventilated locations with fuel gases separated from oxygen.

Confirm the outfit's connections match the cylinders to be used, verify regulators are correct for the gases involved, inspect hoses and connections before use, and leak test with soap solution before lighting.
