Sure, but unless you're female, i'd rather not
Most OC's have, or come with a barbed, tapered fitting so most any 3/16" and 1/4" oxy hoses will just slip-on after removing the brass fitting. The initial downside, is that you are limited to the OC's internally set line pressure of about 7-9 PSI. I used my for several weeks before pulling the OC cover and tweaking the machine's internal regulator - but I'm picky, even though I could've continued using it as-is.
On the fuel side, if your acetylene regulator has a CGA-510 bottle fitting (most mid-sized and larger regs do), then simply screw it on the propane bottle.
edit: Corrected hose sizes above - originally stated 3/8" but that was incorrect (I use 3/16")
