OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Grade R Twin Hose for High-Flow Applications

The RH-2401 Twin Hose is a robust solution for welders requiring high-volume gas flow in oxy-acetylene cutting and welding operations. Unlike standard light-duty hoses, this assembly features a 3/8-inch internal diameter, significantly reducing pressure drop over the length of the line. This characteristic is vital when running high-capacity heating nozzles or cutting thick plate, ensuring your flame remains stable and potent without starving the torch of fuel or oxygen.

This hose is manufactured to Grade R specifications. It features a smooth, synthetic rubber tube and a durable cover that resists flame, heat, and abrasion. It is important to note that Grade R hoses are designed exclusively for use with acetylene gas. The internal tube material is not compatible with alternate fuel gases like propane or propylene, which can cause the rubber to deteriorate rapidly. For shops strictly utilizing acetylene, Grade R offers a cost-effective and high-performance solution.

The assembly is terminated with high-quality brass B-size fittings (9/16"-18 threads), the industry standard for most medium to heavy-duty regulators and torches. The fittings are factory-crimped to ensure a leak-proof seal and exceed safety standards for pull strength. The 12.5-foot length is ideal for fixed station setups, minimizing pressure loss and reducing the risk of hose damage from floor traffic. Whether you are outfitting a new cutting station or replacing worn-out lines, this hose delivers the durability and performance professional welders expect.

FAQ

Grade R hose is designed specifically for use with acetylene gas only. Grade T hose features a neoprene liner that makes it compatible with all fuel gases, including propane, natural gas, and propylene, in addition to acetylene.

No, this is a Grade R hose. Using propane or other petroleum-based fuel gases with Grade R hose can cause the inner tube to rot and degrade, leading to dangerous leaks. You must use Grade T hose for propane.

This hose comes with standard B-size fittings, which are 9/16"-18 threads. The oxygen fitting has right-hand threads, and the acetylene fitting has left-hand threads (indicated by a notch on the nut).

A 3/8 inch hose has a larger internal diameter, allowing for greater gas flow. This is necessary for heavy-duty applications, such as using large heating tips or cutting very thick steel, where a 1/4 inch hose might restrict flow.

12.5 ft is a shorter length, often used for bench work or situations where the gas cylinders are very close to the work area. Standard lengths are typically 25 ft or 50 ft, but the shorter length helps reduce clutter.

The hose is color-coded for safety. The Green line is for Oxygen, and the Red line is for Acetylene (Fuel gas).

No, this product is the hose assembly only. Flashback arrestors are sold separately and are highly recommended for safety.
