Another oxycon and a splitter for your propane.

As far as I know - I asked Sean and that is what he said. I haven't set mine up yet but have bought the bits and bobs.
Maybe someone will correct me if I have got it wrong! ;D

Sounds right to me.

I actually had my two torches plumbed in with copper piping from the outside. There is an automatic switch over between the two tanks so when one runs out the the other switches in. That has the regulator and arrestor built in. There is a tap under each of my tables to isolate each torch, that is where I turn off the gas when I finish working. Then I turn off the torch once the gas left in the hosing between the tap and the torch runs out.

AND you have the cool possibility of running a single torch with dual oxy's for some real punch when you need it!...  ;D
