[Cowcalf]

some one care to explain how that is safer than taped together hoses ?

 

[Welding Supplies Direct]

The adhesive in on the tape causes the hoses to deteriorate and crack.

Why should you use the correct hoses for the right gas ?

Well ............

Hoses used with acetylene are coloured red and are designed to resist acetone. For this reason other fuel gas hoses must not be used.
propane has some solvent properties and therefore hoses should be of the correct material as shown and the correct colour, orange.

It is also now a legal requirement now too !!! ....... it's not advisory any more !!
