Water hose diameter

admin

Does anyone know what the inside diameter of the water hoses for a #20 torch is? Looking at pictures and videos, it looks like 1/4" but someone who has one would know better. Any help would be appreciated. kidtigger24  They think I’m crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am MAD!

Reply:Originally Posted by kidtigger24Isn't that your stuff in the pictures? I know that is your 50lb piece of steel in picture 2. It works good as a hand rest, but damn is it heavy. Seems like I had to move it 50 times last time I was there. kidtigger24
Reply:Originally Posted by zapsterI am not too sure about that..(I have a spare torch head)..The O.D. of both tubes are the same but the ends are different..Kinda hard to tell from the pics but yes they are the same.....zap!

Reply:Dunno. Just about any model will work really. These pumps will shoot up over 200psi if you deadhead them, and also flow 1-3GPM open flow, which is WAY more than you need or could ever get w/o rupturing the lines first from the pressure required to do so. They're suited very well for the application. Look on ebay, they're cheap.Last edited by MikeGyver; 03-26-2012 at 03:49 AM.Welding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com
