1/4" Type R Twin Welding Hose With BB Fittings

1/4" Type R Twin Welding Hose

Twin hose for Oxy Acetylene cutting and welding. Hoses stay together as a unit to avoid annoying tangles.

Features:

• Inside layer constructed of Synthetic rubber compatible with oxygen & acetylene only - For natural gas, propane and propylene see grade T hose
• Outside layer constructed of Synthetic rubber with a smooth cover
• Reinforced with spiral synthetic yarn

What is the difference between Type T hose and Type R hose?

Type T hose is engineered to resist the chemical reaction that occurs between rubber hose and the natural oils in propane, natural gas and propylene that over time will degraded Type R hose causing it to dry and crack.  It is safe to use Acetylene with both types of hose but type T is more expensive so it is something to consider when making a purchase.
