    Hmm the plot thickens,,, I use both a Little Torch and Midget with a
    Y and check valves. 

    I always turn the fuel on first, and turn it off last,   During a
    long session at the bench, I frequently save oxygen by turning it
    off, leaving the propane burning,   A quick "on' with 02 at the torch
    head puts me back to work. I add that I do this only while I am
    working at the bench. 

    Then,  when I am done for the day or leave the building  I turn off
    the cylinder valves and bleed down all of  the lines -  first with
    propane, then  02.  That cleans the lines and the torch heads.  The
    last thing I do is to turn off the torch valves and take a look at
    the regulators to make sure everything is as it should be.  

    Do any of you veteran jewelers have  comments on these procedures? 

Frif,,
