Orca Torch - leak?
I've had the exact same problem! Driving me crazy!!! =20
Ted=85much appreciate your time taken for recommendation, but I don't under= stand =85 my hose is sealed not by a screw setting, but by inserting the fe= male end from the Orca into the hose, which has a clamp that tightens with = a screw fitting. =20 any chance you could try to explain what you mean by 'shoulder'? I actually purchased a new Smith hose with screw endings, but no way could = I get the female end to fit the new hose. =20 Now I'm wondering if the problem is because I don't have either a blow-back= preventer or gauges, neither of which my teacher used, and when I asked th= e store from which I purchased the Orca, they said that "everything was inc= luded in the kit"! I've asked my husband to take the whole kit and caboodle to local welding s= tore for advice, while I am out of town. I'll let you know what happens if= you want.

I used this design of torch in my silversmithing classes and never had any troubles... =20 The handle attaches into the hose by a screw setting. I have screwed this in as far as it goes, but there is still some thread sticking out and when I switch the gas on it leaks from here. =20 I do not know what is going wrong and it is driving me mad! I have basically unpacked it from the box and put it together and it's just not right.=20 =20 Can anyone help put me back on track??!! =20 Thank you thank you! =20 =20 =20 =20 --=20 AntoniaP |
