Oxygen-Fuel Gas Welding and Cutting - Cylinders |

The valve outlet and regulator are two critical components of compressed gas
cylinders that must be used properly. Valve protection caps protect the valve from damage and oil and grease. The valve-protection cap shall not be used for lifting cylinders from one vertical position to another. The cap may accidentally and suddenly come loose. Should a cylinder without a cap fall or be knocked over, the valve may be damaged or sheared off, causing a sudden release of pressure. If the valve outlet of a cylinder becomes clogged with ice, thaw with warm – not boiling – water. |
