Anyone know what Type Rectus fittings are on a Kemppi MLS. My hose to argon inlet is leaking

Thanks. Its the QR that failed. Do you if it’s 1/4 or 1/8, > hose

(Im sure its 1/8)

Which hose shox.
The quick release rectus21 female fittings can be picked up from eBay for a fiver or so and just fit a new length of gas hose to suit. I run 6mm bore on mine.

The Parker copies are very good.
I use them on all my gas and water joints and they’ve been super.
eBay is probably the best bet for a one off plus a couple meters of hose.

Sorry that was a bit confusing. QR is on the hose from the gauge. Its either 1/4 or 1/8 thread

 

[Richard.]

Ah ok gotcha I’d say 1/4bsp same thread as they use on the front where you connect the torch.

Caravan places or ebay, used for the gas connection hose, When I first bought a Kemppi mig I was a mug and got one from Kemppi, Quite a few years ago they charged about $23-00 for the QR, Before I realised that they were Rectus 21, Now all my gas hoses have these fittings. Also a lot of these new type window cleaners that use the long hose and brush us Rectus 21.
This is where I got mine, they keep all the different male, female, hose tail or sewed fittings.

If it’s smaller than the thread at the front then go with 1/8

It will have to wait until tomorrow. Was hoping to get it ordered tonight, save me right for not looking

 

[Shox Dr]

Shox chuck up a picture of what you’re after.

Sorted thanks. I’ll post a pic when I get the replacement

 

[Shox Dr]

This is the one that was leaking

And this is the replacement Rectus

No name on it, Kemppi part. It's been leaking on and off for a while tbh. Gauge showed no pressure loss this morning.
