regulators

[88incher]

After recomendations on here I have just bought a clarke Clarke 165TEM think i intended to get the 160 tm but hey ho. My problem now is with the gas. I have a Co2 bottle from a previous welder but the regulator is bust and the one that came with the welder doesn't fit. How to procede????

The new reg on the the right is for argon or argon mix cylinders, if your old reg is past it you'll need a new one for co2, like this one clicky,

cant u buy an adaptor?

 

[Paul.]

You can get adaptors but they cost more than a new regulator,

this one is a bit cheaper.
Gauge ?? Bar ?? whats that all about ?

 

[Paul.]

2 gauges, one for cylinder contents, and one for outlet flow, bar is the metric measurement of pressure, 1 bar is about 14.5 psi, that reg should be fine
