Identify this gas fitting.

[Richard.]

As above could the fitting boffins of the forum tell me exactly what the small male ended gas fitting is please. Size/name I have no clue and as I'm about to order myself a new torch I'm gonna need one. Pic 1 is the bit I need.
Pic 2 is the female end on the unit
Pic 3 shows how much smaller it is than the standard size ones. I'm not gonna order one till its 100% confirmed what I need cheers.

Rectus is the type, unsure of the size code though...

 

[HughF]

Measure the diameter, I can check on the rectus website:

Looks like a 20 if that's a euro connector in the second pic I think?

 

[HughF]

I'm thinking 20KA too... 2.7mm diameter:

Lol, this is in my clipboard to paste http://www.rectus.de/products/qcde_products/low_pressure/brasssteel/single_shut_off/20ka/

Like Hugh says Rich, get the diameter and you can confirm.

 

[Richard.]

Od is 4.6 ish and I'd 2.6/7.
Loaned my calipers out so can't be precise.

 

[Richard.]

Length 25mm.

 

[WorkshopChris]

I was going to say Legris Series 21
but that's just measured at :-
Main body 9.0mm
Reduced diameter 6.7mm
Ring 9.0mm
End 8.15mm

Length 14.0mm

So if thats only 4.6mm is the bigger one a rectus / legris s21. At 1st i thought is was standard euro.

Will have a look through the fittings book.

All my argon hoses etc look similar, Rectus 21, As fitted as original equip from Kemppi, Excellent fittings, loads on ebay for a fraction of Kemppi price.
The shop was called Contex-pneumatics i think, very quick delivery.
Also the Rectus 21 is compatable with a few other make, I think they also call one that will fit a Schrader mini
Some of the rectus 21 connectors on ebay are listed as water couplings as used by these new window cleaners with the long thin hoses feeding the brush, but they are exactly the same item as the gas ones.
Just put my specs on, and see that the fitting is the tiny one for fitting the argon line to the machine,

 

[Richard.]

Looking at your chart I think I have it. Hose barb type 4th from bottom. Connection A 4mm
24 long L1 13mm with a 7mm shoulder.

 

[HughF]

that one off ebay then for a tenner...

 

[Richard.]

God now I'm not sure. Too many part numbers and measuring with a bloody rule. I'll get my verniers Tomoz and have a proper look failing that a quick mail to the Rehm guys will confirm.

 

[Jim Davey]

I stock these, std equipment on Loncoln inverter TIGs.

 

[weldequip]

This any use to you?...

Keep em in stock.

 

[Richard.]

Yes. Are you sure the Lincoln fitting is identical? Pm me a price of it is. Cheers Steve.

 

[Richard.]

Cheers Steve that's great.
I'm sorted out with what I need now. Thanks to all who posted. I'm much wiser now on these little brass fittings.
Rich.

Not happy with the ck torch Richard?

 

[Richard.]

Not happy with the ck torch Richard?

Yeah it's good but a big part of the reason for the Rehm (along with simple interface) is they are the smaller and lighter than the competition. I want to take advantage of that by been able to chuck her in the case and use it out side of my home when needed. This isn't practical with the cooler so a gas cooled 17 to sit in the case would be spot on. That's why I need the adaptor.

 

[HughF]

Good plan... Ck17 superflex then
