There was an interesting article about the hazards of not backing off the regulators after using torches. ( The Welding Journal) If the regulators are not backed off and the oxy valve is opened the regulator diaphragm can add to the fuel available for a regulator explosion. I am taking the article to work. People get pissed off at me because I back regs off and they don't see the need. Randy
