    Holly, I have just set my torch up exactly as you describe (with a Y
    connector)and so far it has worked fine. You can get Y connectors
    with small valves on each end of the Y, so you can even turn off the
    flow to that particular torch. You can use both torches at once - the
    glass shop showed me where they have about 6 torches off 3 lines. I
    did install a flash back inhibitor because the flame-working torch
    puts out a huge flame and I was nervous about it.... 

    The biggest issue in doing this for me is that I don't have enough
    space to have both flame working and jewelry working going at once.
    AND you need a fair bit of clearance for the long flame of the glass
    torch. 

HTH - good luck!
Mary Barker
