Silent entry torching and oxygen delivery system and configuration

A handle device for use with a torching rod system in exothermic operations, the handle device comprising:

• a handle body having an inlet and an outlet;
• the inlet to receive a flow of oxygen;
• the outlet to couple with a torching rod to create a flowpath of oxygen into the torching rod;
• a valve to adjust the flow of oxygen to the outlet;
• a handle cover adjacent to the inlet;
• and
• a flashback arrestor to couple with the inlet and integrated into the handle.

A torching system for exothermic operations comprising:

• a rod including
• a plurality of cables having stainless steel fibers configured to burn during an exothermic operation, wherein the plurality of cables surrounds a hollow center portion within the rod,
• a flowpath formed by the hollow center portion for oxygen to burn the stainless steel fibers, and
• a sheath to enclose the plurality of cables and the hollow center portion;
• and
• a handle device to connect to the rod, the handle device including
• a handle body having an inlet and an outlet,
• the inlet to receive a flow of oxygen,
• the outlet to couple with the rod to create the flowpath of oxygen into the rod, and
• a valve to adjust the flow of oxygen to the outlet,
• wherein the inlet is configured at about a 90 degree angle from the rod;
• a plurality of bottles containing oxygen to generate the flowpath of oxygen to the handle device;
• and
• a manifold to fix the plurality of bottles in place and to connect to the handle device.

An oxygen delivery system comprising:

• the inlet to receive a flow of oxygen,
• the outlet to couple with the rod to create the flowpath of oxygen into the rod, and
• a valve to adjust the flow of oxygen to the outlet,
• a plurality of bottles containing oxygen to generate the flowpath of oxygen to the handle device;
• a manifold to fix the plurality of bottles in place and to connect to the handle device;
• and
• a mask and a tube to connect the mask to the flowpath to deliver breathable oxygen from at least one of the plurality of bottles.

A method for performing exothermic operations, the method comprising:

• creating a flowpath of oxygen within a rod, wherein the flowpath is surrounded by a plurality of cables having stainless steel fibers;
• igniting the oxygen within the flowpath;
• and
• burning the stainless steel fibers.
