Help! 90degree fitting

[mi3gto]

OK just took delivery of a Coogar 5 X50 bottle, the fitting is coming out of the bottle at 90degree to vertical but regulator is bottom fitting for a vertical outlet (as per the smaller bottle). As the flow gauge needs to be vertical can you get an adaptor to turn the fitting from horzontal to vertical??????

Cant you just position the regulator horizontally and turn the flowmeter 90degrees....??

Do you have a seperate flow meter ?.....it should be possible to loosen the fittings on the reg and flowmeter to have it vertical.

If you have a twin gauge reg with no seperate flowmeter it doesn't mater how it goes...the twin gauge reg on a bottle of coogar i'm using has both dials pointing to the floor.


Edit:
Here's a pic of my setup...

OK lads I am Irish after all :-)

Never thought of turning the flow meter DUH!

Thanks for the pointers. Would still like to know if such a 90degree bend exists?

I've got a couple for O2 and a couple for fuel...

Got them off eBlag a long while back, company I bought from had test certs and good feedback on all sold at the time.....

It is possible to get 90* adaptors, but they would probably end up positioning the reg where it interferes with the handle/protection thing around the top of the bottle, unless you also used an extension.

I spoke to the chaps at WeldPro today and they have a 90 degree with a LONG leg, this fits into the AP bottle and clears the collar well allows the regs to fit vertical, now have to remember to turn the flow meter back vertical :-) got it for £12

Thanks lads.
