Frequently asked questions

Recommended to use Loxeal 58-11 instead of Loxeal 18-10, as it has a higher strength and it takes longer to cure on stainless steel than other metals and the final strength is less than 100% of its full curing strength.

The sealant between the threads will harden when oxygen is expelled. The sealant outside of the piping will remain liquid as oxygen cannot be expelled.

If your auto regulator is not switching over, we recommend looking at the indicator first.

The indicator at the top of the gas regulator indicates if the gas bottle in use contains gas or is empty.

When the indicator is green, the regulator is ON and the gas bottle in use contains gas. When the indicator is RED, the cylinder it is pointing to is empty and the internal valve has switched over to use the other cylinder.

Please note, the indicator only indicates the contents of the cylinder that it is “pointing to” or “in use”.  This means that the indicator can show RED when reading the first empty cylinder, even when the second cylinder has gas and is in use.

To accurately check the regulator/indicator is working – only connect or turn on one cylinder at a time and check if it is green or red and if there is gas at the outlet.

To select the right heater, consider the volume of the room that you require heating. The larger the room, the higher KW output required to heat the room.

The Oxyset uses a mixture of Map-Pro and oxygen gases. The ratio of the mixture affects the flame temperature, but when the ideal mixture occurs so that a blue flame is present the flame will have a temperature of up to 3000°C (5400°F).
