OVERVIEW

Essential Tool for Portable Acetylene Cylinders

The ESAB 505L00 Wrench B MC is a critical accessory for any professional utilizing portable oxy-fuel setups. Designed specifically for B (40 cu. ft.) and MC (10 cu. ft.) acetylene cylinders, this tool addresses the unique requirement of these tanks, which typically feature a square valve stem rather than a permanent handwheel. Without this key, accessing your fuel gas is impossible, making it an indispensable part of your gas equipment inventory.

Safety in gas distribution and usage is paramount. Using pliers or adjustable wrenches on brass valve stems can strip the square corners, rendering the valve inoperable and potentially creating a safety hazard during emergency shut-offs. The ESAB 505L00 provides a precise fit that engages the valve stem fully, allowing for smooth opening and closing with minimal effort. This ensures that gas flow can be controlled accurately and shut off instantly when the job is done.

Constructed from durable materials, this wrench is built to last in industrial environments. Whether you are a plumber, HVAC technician, or metalworker, having the correct key for your gas supply is as important as the torch itself. At Josef Gas, we recommend keeping a spare key attached to your regulator or cylinder cart to ensure you are never left without the ability to work.

Key Features for Gas Safety

  • Specific Fit: Tailored for the standard square stems found on B and MC acetylene valves.
  • Emergency Ready: Enables quick shut-off of gas flow in case of torch malfunction.
  • Durable Build: Resists wear and deformation, protecting your cylinder valves.

FAQ

This wrench is designed specifically for 'B' (Bus) and 'MC' (Motorcycle) style acetylene cylinders which have a small square valve stem.

Small acetylene tanks (B and MC) are typically manufactured without a handwheel to prevent accidental opening during transport. A key/wrench is required to operate the valve.

The opening is designed to fit standard B and MC valve stems, which are typically 3/16 inch square.

It is not recommended. Pliers can strip the brass corners of the valve stem, making it difficult to operate the valve safely in the future.

No, standard propane cylinders usually have a handwheel or a different valve configuration. This is specific to acetylene B and MC valves.

For safety, the wrench should be left on the valve while the cylinder is in use to allow for emergency shut-off, but removed during transport.
