Clarke 150te Euro Conversion

[undertaker]

Hi,

Just brought my big Lincoln welder back from work to home and was using it yesterday. Realised how much I missed my euro torch.

Now I have a spare binzel 15 torch that I'd like to rig up on my Clarke 150te purely for ease of use and because I prefer them.

Only thing that I'm not sure about is the gas valve. The clarke has it in the torch. Will I need to get a gas valve?

I was thinking of purchasing this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIG-EURO-...ultDomain_3&hash=item5645a45ebd#ht_852wt_1141 as a complete kit sort of thing then I have a spare torch to keep incase there is ever a problem.

The seller does gas solenoids in both 24 volts and 230 volts. What will be best with the Clarke 150te? Not familiar with the insides of these clarke machines

Cheers!

Why order one from Germany? You can get one from York for around the same price.

I could do. Slightly more dear still

What voltage will I require for the gas solenoid?

According to this thread found via a forum search 230v is the one you want.

Right-o. Have ordered a dinse plug and socket. Will get that done first then will have a look at the euro torch change.
