Personally no, but going off of what everyone has told me, I'd need oxy mapp or oxy propane for brazing. If I was going to go through all that I'd do an oxy acetylene setup so at least I could also use it for cutting and welding. So I'd still be back to a B tank either way.SWEI said:
Also going off of what I've learned, even if you could braze with it, you'd need a much bigger tip for the same performance. That comes with drawbacks.

In case anyone wants to try, the Uniweld FV600 will adapt a CGA200 (MC regulator) to a CGA600 (14oz disposable MAP/Pro or LPG cylinder.) They're fairly popular as a backup option.0

Do you need to change anything else, or just swap that in with a tank and you're burning?SWEI said:In case anyone wants to try, the Uniweld FV600 will adapt a CGA200 (MC regulator) to a CGA600 (14oz disposable MAP/Pro or LPG cylinder.) They're fairly popular as a backup option.

That's it, at least for occasional use. Oh, and don't use your Grade R hose below -10°F ambient.0

If I'm brazing a monitor top when it's -10F or colder in the room I've got some serious issues.SWEI said:That's it, at least for occasional use. Oh, and don't use your Grade R hose below -10°F ambient.
What happens to the hose below -10F? Cracks?

Propylene stops vaporizing well, liquid can get into the line and degrade the liner. Grade T hose has a different liner that is resistant.ChrisJ said:What happens to the hose below -10F? Cracks?
Note that (unlike acetylene) you actually can braze with propylene in ambient temps as low as -5°F.0
