OVERVIEW

Maximize Efficiency with the GS-150 Gas Saver

The GS-150 Gas Saver is a critical accessory for high-production brazing, soldering, and welding environments. Designed to eliminate the repetitive and time-consuming process of lighting and adjusting a torch flame, this device streamlines operations while significantly reducing gas consumption. The unit features a mechanical hanging arm connected to a double shutoff valve system. When the operator hangs the torch on the arm, the weight of the handle triggers the valves to close, instantly cutting off the supply of both oxygen and fuel gas. This ensures that expensive consumables are not wasted during idle time between parts or setup changes.

When work resumes, the operator simply lifts the torch from the hook. The valves automatically reopen to the pre-set flow rates, and the tip is passed over the integrated pilot light for immediate re-ignition. This seamless transition allows for a "pick-up-and-go" workflow that is ideal for assembly lines, jewelry manufacturing, and HVAC component repair. The pilot light itself is adjustable and fed by a separate, small supply line to ensure a consistent ignition source without wasting fuel. Constructed from durable brass, the GS-150 is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use.

Safety is also enhanced, as the open flame is extinguished the moment the torch leaves the operator's hand and is placed on the rack. This reduces the risk of accidental burns or fire hazards in a busy shop. Whether you are running oxy-acetylene, oxy-propane, or natural gas setups, the GS-150 Gas Saver is a universal solution for cost control and productivity improvement.

FAQ

The GS-150 features a hooked arm that acts as a lever. When you hang your torch on the hook, the weight depresses the lever, closing the internal valves and shutting off gas flow to the torch. When you lift the torch, the valves open, and you ignite the gas using the built-in pilot light.

The GS-150 is generally compatible with Oxygen and common fuel gases such as Acetylene, Propane, and Natural Gas. Always check the specific markings on the unit to ensure seal compatibility.

Yes, the small pilot light remains lit continuously to provide an instant ignition source. It consumes a negligible amount of gas compared to a full welding flame.

The GS-150 is primarily designed for welding and brazing handles which are lighter. Heavy cutting torches may not fit the hook properly or may be too heavy for the mechanism, although some smaller combination torches may work.

No, that is the main benefit. The valves on the Gas Saver cut the flow, so you can leave your torch handle valves set to your desired mixture. When you lift the torch, the flame returns to your previous setting.

The unit is typically mounted to a workbench. The gas hoses from your regulators connect to the inlet side of the Gas Saver, and the hoses to your torch connect to the outlet side.

Yes, there is a small adjustment valve on the pilot light assembly that allows you to control the size of the pilot flame.

No, the GS-150 is a shutoff device. You should still use appropriate flashback arrestors and check valves in your system for safety.
