Hey,
So my kit came with the following:
FSR150CR Regs
J28 Handle
CA-1260 Cutting attachment
0-3-101 Cutting Tip?
2-W-J tip
PL-8A Turbo Torch? with quick disconnect
Hose description says "RMA/CGA IP-7-99 VEC GRADE RM
Striker
Goggles
and also a few smaller attachments which ia am guessing are the flash back arrestors.
Any reccomendations for tanks, etc are greatly appreciated.
thanks again for all you help

Bottles come in a variety of sizes. If you plan several frames (and other torching tasks), then bypass the tiny MC acetylene (20 cu. ft. ) and R oxygen (10 cu. ft.) bottles. Typically, they last me only about 4 hours of welding and brazing - easy to pack around, but a constant refill hassle and very expensive over the long-haul. If safe, long-term storage isn't a problem, then the-bigger-the-better. You'll need to talk with your local supplier about purchasing or leasing options.
Ooops!... failed to mention; the reg number you supplied "FSR150CR", is an oxygen reg and fits the tiny "R" oxygen bottle. So, I would suspect the matching acetylene reg fits the tiny "MC" acetylene bottle. If you decide to spring for the larger bottles, you'll need to buy adapters or change the inlet fittings on the regs.

Just a quick question. I'm fairly new to framebuilding and only have limited experience with oxyacetylene. The topic of "flashback" keeps popping up and I was wondering if anyone could explain this to me. I appreciate it.
