[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts

[Stephen McGehee]

In my understanding of Pipefitters Terminology, Tee's are described as
the two straight-through hubs, then the tap, hence the tee that is used
with this burner is a 1-1/4 by 3/4 by 1-1/4 inch.  Sometimes those
counter guys are so inflexible as to say "we ain't got any of them",
when in fact you just asked for the wrong part...  Taking a full sized
1-1/4" tee and bushing it down should work.  (Dan Scheid) responding to
this thread said he was using 6# of propane, but when I saw Larry
Zoeller demo his unit at Quad State, he was using 8 ounces of pressure
for what seemed like a respectful output; what size tip orifice are you
using?  And does your unit just require that much pressure to get a
welding heat?  Pardon me for not following this thread back when it
started, Dan, but what size furnace do you have, inside and outside
measurements and material?  Thank you.
