We need more information even a pictureHi guys, finally gone and bought a CK wp9 Torch for my Rtech, bought the CK adapter with 3/8" gas fitting, gone to fit it all up, bam, stupid Chinese machine has some random fitting doesn't it.
Anyone know what adapter I need?
Ring R Tech they will fix you up with a fittingYou can see here the Rtech gas fitting is like a barb with the gas line pushed on then a collet tightens down on it and the CK adapter I've got is 3/8th inch which I got from Rapid Welding.
That's nice to know I have never liked that braided hose everytime I switch torches.Ring R Tech they will fix you up with a fitting
All the later ones use a "PCL" type fitting
That was one thing I hated on my machineThat's nice to know I have never liked that braided hose everytime I switch torches.

It was changed to "PCL" some time ago
The parts are available
To be honest it is something I have never noticeddb, on my machine I get a gas surge when I arc up, so much more that any other welder I have used. Too much for my liking, which I will investigate and try to improve it. Do you get the same on yours? is it a standard R-Tech characteristic or just my machine?
Is the surge a 'whoosh' of high flow as opposed to just pre-flow?
If it's higher flow, are you using the same regulator that you've used on other machines?
