Hi All,

I've a question about setting up two torches on one propane bottle. Theoretically I know it's possible and I've seen a few examples of multiples of the same torch being run off a single bottle.

My question is: I have my trusty old gas-only sievert and now a smiths little torch with an oxy-con (birthday present from my husband who is more than I deserve!), so two different torches. Does anyone have experience with this set-up? And could you share your experience?

I'm looking at a splitter from Tuffnell's - can't post a link, still a newbie. But I'm not sure if I need one or two flashback arrestors.

These are a couple of the set-up options I'm considering, your thoughts and arguments appreciated:

Set-up 1: bottle - flashback arrestor - regulator - splitter - torches

Set-up 2: bottle - regulator - splitter - flashback arrestor on each line - torches

Set-up 3: bottle- regulator - splitter - flashback arrestor on smiths line only - torches

Thanks!
