setting up benchsource annealer

It's like he didn't even read the thread before posting jmorris. I addressed nearly every question he asked.

It always comes down to this very SIMPLE thing that is seemingly VERY hard for some to grasp: The color change of the flame indicates SOMETHING burning out of the brass. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BURN ANYTHING OUT OF THE BRASS?

A few people have done the single tank conversion with pressure regulator as seen in this thread.

Your having to adjust because the smaller tanks lose pressure over time and the output pressure of the gas diminishes.

Can I use a regulator on each line to prevent this? I know people do this with the 20lb tanks. I have an extra 20lb tank, I just don't have the room to fit it in my reloading area, and it would be a hassle getting it in and out every time.

Timelinex,
To set up your benchsource with a 20 lb. tank, you DO NOT need a regulator. All gas regulation is done at the torch heads just like when using the small bottles. All you need is a hose made up to go from the tank to a tee, then approx. 1 foot from the tee to each torch.

I don't run a regulator on my 20lb tank. Works great. I used a Y adapter on the tank, and two hoses that run to the torches.

I also don't run a regulator off the "big" tank and have a QD fitting on the manifold so the connection is instant.
