Can acetylene pressure gauge be replaced with a plain 30# gauge or is it special? I know not to use oil filled on oxygen.

The only things "special" about the acy gauge are, the low-pressure side guage (30 PSI) with the red-line at 15 PSI, and the left-hand threads on the bottle connector.

Hey Steve,
Am aware of the left hand threads on the regulator , but only need to replace the gauge. Thanks for the quick reply.
