1. Introducing HGX Fuelgas: The safer, lower-cost, higher efficiency alternative to Acetylene

2. Acetylene WHY HGX? Less Expensive More BTU per dollar Less cylinder handling cost Less cylinder rental Equipment lasts longer Safety Resistant to flashback and backfire Can be used at higher pressures Less U.V. protection required Not sensitive to shock Less soot to pollute workplace Cylinder Convenience More product per cylinder Less weight per cylinder Less costly to maintain

3. WHY HGX? Product Performance More BTU per cubic foot Less chipping and grinding Less top edge roll-over Less hardening on cut face Broad preheat adjustment range Equipment Changes Requires a Propane Tip Mixing Valve (on some torches) Must use T-Grade Hose Can use an acetylene regulator: 510 CGA

6. High risk to flashback

7. 15 psi Max. Setting on Acetylene Regulator
