0916-0005 - TurboTorch Type B Acetylene Tank 40 cu ft Empty CGA 520

The Essential B-Tank for HVAC and Plumbing Pros

When you are hauling gear up a ladder to a rooftop unit or squeezing into a crawlspace to fix a pipe, you need a gas supply that doesn't weigh you down but still lasts through the job. The TurboTorch 0916-0005 Type B Acetylene Cylinder is the "Goldilocks" tank for the trade—not too heavy, not too small. Known affectionately as the "B-Tank" or "Busboy," this 40 cubic foot cylinder is the daily driver for HVAC technicians and plumbers across the country. It provides enough fuel to braze countless linesets or solder copper pipes without the back-breaking weight of larger industrial cylinders.

This tank comes ready for action with a standard CGA 520 valve. This means your existing B-tank regulators will screw right on without the need for adapters. The tank stands just under two feet tall and is six inches wide, making it easy to tuck into your truck's racking system or carry by hand with a standard tank handle. Because safety and shipping rules are strict, this cylinder arrives at your door empty. You'll need to take it to your local welding supply or gas distributor to get it filled or exchanged, but owning your own tank often saves you on demurrage or lease fees in the long run.

Whether you are running a TurboTorch air-acetylene kit for high-heat brazing or a standard oxy-acetylene setup for cutting and welding, this tank is the fuel source you can rely on. It is built tough to handle the bumps and bruises of the job site, from the back of the van to the concrete floor. Remember, acetylene is a fuel gas, so always keep the tank upright during use and transport to prevent the acetone stabilizer from entering your regulator. Pair this 0916-0005 cylinder with a good regulator and torch, and you are ready to tackle everything from 1/4" tubing to heavy-duty heating applications.
