Just got a welder - SIP TOPMIG170 but needs attention. The bits in the piccy are just inside the welder after the feed rollers
The gas pipe to the torch fits over the left hand end of the big bit.
The sleeve goes up the gas pipe, right through the big bit and should be clamped in place when the little bit is screwed into the end of the big bit.
Just trying to work it out, but what I think is.....
The small part needs replacing. Half the end bit is broken off.
Also seems that the gas will escape this end instead of going up the pipe as the sleeve seems a bit loose in the little bit to be clamped tightly.
So.... I need a sleeve the right size and a new little screw in bit and Bob's your uncle. What you reckon? Am I missing any parts of this assembly?
Great site BTW - This is where I learned to weld
