Does any one have a dual torch set up?

As in your soldering torch and lampworking torch coming off the same gas bottle with a switchover valve?
If so could you point me in the direction of the component parts I need.

Thank you

I just use quick release valves and swap over as needed. Much easier, and very cheap to do. I buy mine from Hamilton Gas. You need two, but only use one half of the second one.

This lets me move around far more easily than having a single line with a splitter, which always seems to end up being in the wrong place.

I must admit the quick release thing keeps cropping up for me too, need to investigate sometime and see what the benefit for me would be, as I'm quite happy unscrewing from the bottle at the endof the day
