Question for work - welding
« on: February 24, 2011 - 04:39:41 PM »
I am not a welder, but I'm writing about welding and welding tools. Question is, for oxygen and acetylene tanks, do the valve covers screw on or slide on? I'm trying to determine the level of risk associated with using a valve cover to move a charged tank.

Thanks up front.

The caps screw on. And, the each have different threads so you can't mix them up.
