1412-0108 - Firepower 3/16" x 20' Grade R Oxy-Acetylene Twin Hose

Technical Overview of Firepower 1412-0108

The Firepower 1412-0108 is a premium Grade R twin welding hose designed specifically for oxy-acetylene applications. Engineered with a 3/16-inch inner diameter, this hose is optimized for light-duty torches and applications where flow requirements are moderate but maneuverability is critical. The hose construction features a durable rubber compound reinforced to withstand working pressures up to 200 PSI, ensuring structural integrity during operation.

This assembly is supplied in a 20-foot length, providing sufficient reach for standard workbench configurations and localized repairs without creating excessive clutter or pressure drop. The hose is terminated with 'A' size brass fittings (3/8"-24 threads), which are the industry standard for 3/16-inch light-duty welding equipment. It is crucial to verify equipment compatibility, as larger industrial torches typically utilize 'B' size fittings.

As a Grade R hose, the liner and cover are formulated to resist the chemical properties of acetylene gas. However, it is strictly non-compatible with alternate fuel gases such as propane, propylene, or natural gas, which require Grade T hoses to prevent deterioration of the rubber lining. The exterior is color-coded according to international safety standards: Green for the oxygen line and Red for the fuel gas line, minimizing the risk of cross-connection during setup.
