Double torch, one propane tank

[Lead hammer]

If one side lights and the other doesn't then probably your tank is OK. Check the hoses themselves. Sometimes when they swage the fitting on to the hose the hose inner membrane doesn't slide over the brass spear and balls up, causing restricted flow or plugging. Had that happen a couple times.

Now I cant get enough gas to light anything. A project for tomorrow. When I disconnect the hose from the tank, hardly any propane comes out.

Update:

So, it appears that the adapters don't match up to the torch body. I told the guy at the store to swap the pins in the torch, and it helped. However it still sucked, so I drilled out the spring pin in the adapters, now its an empty hole. Hooked it back up and its better, but still not good. So that puts it back on the regulator, it says 0-30psi, is that enough? I have the reg wide open. I can not believe how much of a pain this has been for a simple hose connection. Tempted to go back and grab the hose that I had made up for no reg. and try it.

0-30 psi should be lots.

Went to the store, bought a female coupler to remove the reg. Now everything works as it should.
So on my first setup, ( the Canadian Tire parts ) the “T was not working properly. On this second setup, the torch adapters were not flowing any gas.
Now have drilled out torch adapters, no reg, and it’s working, finally I can work on the rest of the annealer.
