cylinders and regs?!? some help needed.

[kristiaan_d]

Hi all,
appologies if this has been posted a million times on here but im failing to find anything that answers the question i have

my mig has the standard no guage disposable gas regulator, but im looking to alter this setup so i can have a refillable bottle and a nice regulator with a needle.

im in the aberdare / cardiff area so any suggestions on local places that can supply an argon/co2 mix cylinder would be great, but also some suggestions on what i should be asking for etc.

all i want to-do is get rid of these stupid disposables and get a nice small bottle and regultor setup that will last a while for some hobby welding.

i seen this (see link below) on weldequips shop and figured this would be good for the conversion but im not sure what sort of bottle i should be getting or where to get one from? also the end of the pipe does not seem to have a connector that my welder has?

cheers everyone

if your welder has a small nylon tube it just pushes into the end fitting on the reg pipe

Thanks for the reply I had a feeling it might but wanted to make sure that it was going to fit properly

Any suggestions on a cheap gas supplier in the Cardiff area?
