How much should you open the cylinder valve on a propylene cylinder. I can't find anything in search engines, they just bring up stuff about Praxairs fire in St. Louis. This is for a welding class I'm taking, so if you could provide some references it would be appreciated. Thanks Darren

You really shouldn"t open a fuel cylinder any more than 3/4 to 1 full turn. No need to open all the way. It's a safety issue.

absolutely no more than 1 turn. our company's safety manual specify's it as said by jpence38-in the event of a problem, it can be turned off quiclky
