Question
on the torch body, turn off the — valve first to put out the flame.
select one:
a. acetylene
b. turn off oxygen and acetylene valves at the same time
c. you should close cylinder valves to allow gas in hoses to be burnt
d. oxygen
When turning off the valves on a torch body to put out the flame, the acetylene valve is turned off first. This is because acetylene is a fuel gas, and turning it off first helps prevent the formation of a back - fire or flashback situation. If oxygen is turned off first, unburned acetylene can accumulate in the system, which is a safety hazard.
