These thermic lances require a high flow rate to enable the lance to complete boring / cutting process therefore it is essential to use a high flow oxygen regulator such as the OR14 or the MR400. The hose used for thermic lancing should be a large bore and unrestricted, Minimum bore 10mm diameter plus be sure to remove any normal hose check valves as the HCV will impede the oxygen flow and create an unnecessary pressure drop. For longer hose lengths 10m to 20m, and really those over 5m the use of 1/2" bore oxygen hose is important to ensure the correct flow.
To make working with a large bore hose acceptable it is possible to fit a short - 3m to 5m - "whip end" hose of smaller bore (10mm) to the larger bore hose (12 to 19mm) which then allows greater manoeuvrability and helps to reduce artisan fatigue.
