Gas pipe adapter

[Spedo]

I have just got myself an Adams argon gas account and regulator, the problem is my migmate 130 won't attach because coupling is too small. Does anyone know what size adaptor I need.

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi Madkayaker

Thanks for the quick reply, the thread on the regulator is around 15m and the thread on the mig coupler is around 12m, therefore I need a female 15m to male 12m adaptor. Do you know of such an adaptor or am I up the creek without a paddle?

The outlet fitting on the regulator will be 3/8" BSP, the fitting on the welder is probably 1/4" BSP, best thing to do is take a trip down to a local welding supplies shop, they should be able to sort you out its not an unusual problem, or post a picture of what you have on here and someone may link to something on line for you.

Moved to it's own thread.

There is a pipe which adapts the regulator tail to the push fit for disposable cylinder regulators. You can see it on the ones for sale in the shop at the top.

I rigged mine up using bits and pieces, intended it to be a temporary bodge, used it for 6 years, it's running at low pressures so not going to go POP, I think I used a piece of tube and a jubilee clip.
Have a look in the bottom of the green toolbox, the one with all the dust covered funny little bits and bobs in it.
