Forney 86146 Welding Hose Set 1/4 in 50 Ft Oxy-acetylene

Product Description

The FORNEY 86146 is a dual-line welding hose set designed for oxygen-acetylene cutting and welding applications. The set includes a red hose for acetylene and a green hose for oxygen, following standard color-coding conventions used across the trade. Each hose measures 1/4 inch in diameter and runs 50 feet in length, giving technicians enough reach for most shop and field setups. The hose construction resists kinks, heat, weather, and solvent exposure, which helps extend service life in demanding work environments. Standard B fittings are included, and the hoses are rated Grade R. Coupling requires one-inch ferrules only.

This hose set is intended for use with oxygen-acetylene systems exclusively. It is not rated for use with other fuel gases. The 50-foot length suits stationary shop setups as well as field cutting and welding work where cylinder carts are positioned away from the workpiece. Welders, pipefitters, and general metal fabricators working with oxy-fuel equipment are the primary installers. The included B fittings are the industry-standard connection type for light- to medium-duty oxy-acetylene torches and regulators.

Key Features

• Red hose for acetylene, green hose for oxygen - standard color-coded identification
• Grade R rating for acetylene fuel gas service
• 1/4 inch inside diameter, 50 feet in length
• Resists kinks, heat, weather, and solvent exposure
• Includes standard B fittings for direct connection to most oxy-acetylene regulators and torches
• Requires one-inch ferrules for coupling - do not use other ferrule sizes

Compatibility

Designed for use with oxygen-acetylene systems only. Includes standard B fittings compatible with light- to medium-duty oxy-acetylene regulators and torches. Not suitable for use with other fuel gases.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welder or gas technician familiar with oxy-fuel system assembly. Always close cylinder valves and bleed hoses for at least 30 minutes before disconnecting or storing. Couple hose ends using one-inch ferrules only - using incorrect ferrule sizes risks connection failure under pressure. Inspect hoses for cracks, cuts, or abrasion before each use and replace if damage is found.
