The Barracuda Bench Burner was designed specifically with the needs of the artistic flameworker in mind. A dual purpose torch, it will work easily with both soft and borosilicate glass. Bethlehem's Barracuda is one of the hottest new torches on the market today! Whether you're working soft glass or borosilicate, you'll be delighted with the infinite versatility of the Barracuda flame. Made with the precision and quality of all Bethlehem burners, the Barracuda's output is surface-mixed and whisper-soft. You'll find the torch itself is actually an artistic complement to your flameworking process. By varying the atmosphere of your flame, you can use your torch like a fiery paintbrush for shading and highlights. The razor-sharp center is excellent for creating small details. The outer flame transfers heat to your glass at lightening speed and with low line pressures. For marbles, sculpting, and vessels, this sleek new torch is both cost-effective and fuel-efficient.Watch two videos of this torch

Gas Hoses

Use this hose when you use a two gas torch (oxygen and propane). To attach torch, push the cut ends onto the torch and secure with a hose clamp. These are twin hose sets, one for oxygen and one for propane. The brass end of the hoses are attached to the gas regulators. Propane hose fittings are left handed threads and colored red and oxygen is right handed and colored green - This prevents a mix-up when attaching hoses.
CAUTION Do not use the easy to find oxygen/acetylene type hoses. The propane gas will rot them. The hoses we sell are made for all types of gas including propane. Hose ends have female brass fittings.
The below larger diameter hose is only used if when you need a large hose to fit over the large inlet fittings on some torches. (You can get the smaller 1/4" hose listed above on these large inlet fittings with a bit of effort. A trick is to immerse the end of the hose in very hot water to soften the end.)
Y - Connectors for Hose

Y Connector - Connect this fitting at the output of the regulator and attach two hoses so you can use two torches from the same tank. Oxygen and propane Y are packaged and priced separately.
Y Connector with valves - Same as the Y connector described above except has two on/off valves, one for each hose.
* The FA30 connects between the regulator and the gas hose and is more commonly used.

Flashback Arrestors

In some rare situations, a flame can travel back down a hose to the gas tank and cause an explosion.
This device helps prevent this reverse gas flow and flashback by using a reverse flow check valve and a flame arrestor.
Packaged and priced with both an oxygen and a propane arrestor.
