Most torches I've owned have 9/16-18 threads for connection to the welding hose (RH for oxygen, LH for fuel). I recently bought a used torch which had little red plastic caps over the exposed 9/16" threads. I thought that was a great idea, protecting the threads. Anyone know where I can buy these little plastic caps designed to fit over torch threads?GWESeattle area

Just buy extra nuts at a welding supply store. Screw them onto the exposed threads.

Google for "caplugs", they probably made the ones you are talking about. They will send (a few) samples if you ask nicely.
