Annealing

[38-72]

While we are on the topic of annealing: I want to hook up my two BBQ grill sized propane tanks to my two Benzomatic nozzles that fire the cases. And/or I would like to fill up the Benzomatic bottles that the nozzles go onto. The nozzles are the standard 1" connections that fit onto the bottles. I have a hose that connects the propane tank to the nozzle but in cold weather or when the tank isn't 100% full there is not enough pressure to light the nozzle or fill the bottles. I had already tried the direct connect from propane tank to bottle and there's not enough pressure to get more than a tiny bit into the bottle even if the tank is full. I bought a hose with a high pressure regulator and the connection of course did not fit the nozzle. I bought enough brass pieces at Home Depot to make the connection with the nozzle but the regulator did not work. What kind of regulator do I need to make this work? The only regulator I saw on Amazon that was different from one I already tried has a 1/4" connection and I already tried cobbling stuff together to make that work and it didn't. I have a lot to anneal and can't keep buying the bottles.

I talked with Bernzomatic about the psi to run their torches. They said no regulator needed, the torches are designed to run directly of tank pressure.
