Yes Terry, the torch screws onto the connector that the power cord is mechanically clamped onto, the hose slides through the center of the threaded opening and has a male brass fitting that seals to the torch when the parts are screwed together. I think if I just had a length of the hose 10-12 long (haven't measured it) I could repair the machine. The hose inside the torch was sealed with thin aircraft wire twist. The torch and cable is in good condition, I want to avoid having to purchase more than what is actually necessary.
