I've just bought a second hand ESAB Caddy 2200i DC tig welder, but it came without a torch.
I have a scratch start WP17 torch, which I find a bit large, so I'm planning on upgrading to a Parweld Pro-Grip™ PRO9 from Weldequip.
I know I need to buy an adaptor TIG Torch Adaptor to attach the torch lead to the welder, but am unsure about which one I need.
I had assumed at first glance that the male gas threaded connector on the welder was 1/4 BSP, but measuring it with digital calipers (flat section of the jaws) it's just over 9.9mm
View media item 9950
So, does anyone know what gas connection this is, and what type of additional adaptor do you suggest I need to connect to one of the tig torch adaptors?
Thanks
Colin
