What Is an Acetylene Hose?

An acetylene hose is a flexible rubber hose engineered to carry acetylene gas safely from the cylinder to the torch in oxy-acetylene welding setups. These hoses are typically red in color to distinguish them from oxygen hoses (which are blue or green).

Our acetylene hoses are constructed with:

– A synthetic rubber tube resistant to gas permeation

– High-strength textile reinforcement to withstand pressure

– A weather-resistant and flame-retardant outer cover

Applications of Acetylene Hoses

– Oxy-acetylene welding and cutting

– Brazing and soldering

– Metal fabrication and workshops

– Shipbuilding and automotive repair

– Industrial heating and processing
