Most COMET oxy-gas welding kits include oxygen and acetylene regulators, colour-coded gas hoses, a COMET torch handle and mixer, welding tips or attachments, and safety devices such as flashback arrestors and check valves. Always refer to the individual kit contents to confirm exactly what’s inside.
While a standard oxy-gas welding kit is primarily for welding, brazing, and heating purposes, an oxy/acetylene gas welding/cutting kit comes with cutting attachments or a cutting torch, allowing you to cut plates and sections using the same COMET gas kit and cylinders.
Yes. COMET gas kits are for use in fixed workshops as well as on-site from a ute or service trailer. Choose a more compact, portable gas welding kit if you frequently move around, or a heavier-duty setup if most of your work is bench-based.
Most COMET gas kits in this range are for oxy/acetylene use. Oxygen is used as the cutting or heating gas partner, while acetylene gives a hot, focused flame for welding, brazing, and cutting. Always check the product specifications and follow the recommendations of your gas supplier.
Many COMET gas kits come with flashback arrestors and non-return valves as part of the safety package. If your oxy-gas welding kit does not include them, you should add them to your setup in line with safety guidelines and site requirements.
Yes. You can use COMET gas kits in conjunction with dedicated COMET cutting torches for heavier or more frequent cutting. Use the same regulators and gas hoses to switch easily between welding, heating, and cutting.
Nozzle selection depends on the material thickness and the type of job you’re doing. Pair your gas kit with the correct COMET cutting nozzles and follow the cutting data supplied with the nozzles or in the product literature for recommended pressures and sizes.
Conduct regular leak checks, keep threads and sealing faces clean, store hoses neatly without kinks, and protect regulators from impact. Replace damaged components immediately and have equipment serviced or inspected according to your site safety procedures.
Cigweld designs COMET gas equipment to meet relevant Australian requirements when installed, used, and maintained correctly. For specific compliance information, check the individual product documentation or technical data sheet.
Consider the materials and thicknesses you work with, the frequency of your welding or cutting, and whether portability is a critical factor. If you regularly cut plate or structural steel, look for an oxy/acetylene gas welding/cutting kit with suitable cutting capacity. For lighter maintenance and repair, a compact oxy-gas welding kit may be the most practical choice.
