The common Victor outfits you mentioned are excellent and the soft parts of their regulators are compatible with both fuel gases. (I collect and rebuild OA gear per factory manuals because torches are like firearms, having subtle but important ergonomic differences.)Victor LP and acetylene regulators differ by output pressure gauge and diaphragm spring so if one buys the acetylene regulator they can use it with a BBQ or other LP jug which has the same internal CGA-510 valve threads.R-rated hoses survive fine but T-rated hoses are technically correct for LP. I only buy used Victor gear (it's repairable in the field for eternity and I prefer the classic SR regulator series) so when I replace old hose I buy T which is a bit less likely to dry out like an old tire sidewall.Uniweld make equal quality Victor style torches (they specialize in making compatible and mixed-feature gas equipment as original patents are LONG expired).

Any tips for passing a weld test for a job? I'm having trouble controlling my heat input on thin gague plate doing t-joints. They dial the amps above 120 and tell me to keep it there, but I can't seem to control the pedal well enough to not burn through the piece.
