Hi Doug,
This is the torch I use.
Typical UK lightweight blowpipe (this particular one is from Butbro, but they all are very similar).
It has 6mm hoses fitted with 1/4" BSP check valve at torch end, and 3/8" BSP and 3/8" BSP regulator connection at the other end.



I like the idea of TM Technologies ultra-light hose (although with practice I got better at managing the unwieldy hoses).
Your advice above is for fitting US torches to UK hose. What would be your suggestion for fitting of the ultra-light if I wanted to stay with my UK torch?

thanks,
Chris Kaminski
