In the Workshop, Ep. 4: How correctly open welding gas bottles

Simple advice in the fab shop often gets overlooked, but this is much too important to skip over. Opening gas bottles require special attention to detail. In this newest episode of In The Workshop, I'll walk welders through the proper and safe way to open gas valves. There is one rule and one exception, especially for especially acetylene cylinders.

Stay tuned for more of my In the Workshop videos from my Detroit welding shop. I'll continue to offer up all kinds of helpful advice for welders. Whether it’s offering simple advice, leading one-on-one workshops, helping college classes, or having a family member throw on a helmet and lay some beads, I love teaching and seeing the light bulbs go on. 4.5 Kg Butane Gas Bottle
