Since I got the plugs today I thought I might as well put them to use.
I have used a plug from the Stealth 320p and mated it to a socket from the ones I got today thus making an adapter for my WP20 if I wan't to connect it to the Stealth. I will also have to make another for connecting my WP18 torch so I can connect it to the Sherman if I want but will have to swap the plug on it to the same as the Sherman one first.
Anyway it works out quite nice seeing as the Sherman/Jasic socket is so small in comparison to the one on the Stealth.
Screwed together.
With a plug connected showing what it would look like when a torch is plugged in.

Hi,

That plug looks remarkably similar to the plugs that R-Tech use on their TIG machines...

No idea what R-Tech use but if you are meaning the Stealth plug then it is a 12pin Sinocontec.

R-Tech use (at least the 210 TIG) use a 5-pin that looks quite the 5-pin one you've shown:
No matter, was just an observation - shan't have mine for much longer!
Gah....
There is no gas hose from the gas flow reg to the welder.
Can anyone provide an amazon prime next day link to what I need please.
Desperate to get going!

Neil - I don't think there is anything (next day or otherwise) on Amazon that does exactly what you need.
You'll need a 3/8 BSP (swivel) fitting for the reg, some suitable hose, and possibly a rectus 21 female fitting (though my Sherman came with that - a 5 or 6mm barb, I think), and suitable hose clips (I prefer the ear crimp type), plus pincers if required to secure the hose to the fittings.
(similarly, just got a cheap Parker plasma - with reg, etc, all you'd need - but not even a short length of hose to go from reg to the back of the unit. It's 8mm, and all my stock is 6mm. Bloomin' typical)
I'll have a look now though...
edited: I couldn't find anything - even if you were prepared to overpay and cut the end off something. All the next day stuff is advertised as 1/4 thread - e.g.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adaptor-Argon-Regulator-Thread-Welding/dp/B07MKQ6GSN
(I'm guessing your regulator is 3/8)
Do you have a welding supply shop / BOC near you? Take the female rectus fitting along and ask them for a regulator hose you can stick that on. They should have the fittings to secure it too, and might even crimp it on if you ask

There is an an adapter from hose to plug on the machine. I just need a 3/8 female hose adapter. I have plenty of hose for a temp fix....Neil - I don't think there is anything (next day or otherwise) on Amazon that does exactly what you need.

Not next day, but they have always been quick:

(I think it defaults to 8mm ID hose those, so check the dropdown )

Looking to get a TIG and at first I didnt consider the Sherman and have put it down as a cheap chinese unit but coming here it seems not, so looks like the 206P has gone top of my list as I was looking to go R Tech like my MIG 180 but at £1250 for the 170 is a bit ouchy..
Only question I have regarding the 206P is power requirements, I have tried to read most of this thread but not seen any mentions on supply needed? It looks to be a little power hungry compared to my R Tech MIG which I run on a 16A plug without issue, I know this TIG is rated at 200 but whats the most you have got out of it safely if you only have a 16A supply? I'm not in a position to upgrade to a 32A yet.
I'm not likely to need to max it on thin stainless and possibly 3-4mm Aluminium.
Thanks

I feel your pain. NG9? You’re unlikely to want to drive to Sussex to pick one up from me, but you might be lucky if you can find a canal boat chandlery near you that is (a) open and (b) stocks fittings for gas and fuel installations. Maybe Sawley Marina Chandlery (Open until 5 pm today) or Midland Chandlery (you’ll have to be very quick or live next door as they close at 4 today!).
I am running the 206p and the actual jasic both off of 13amp plugs.
Ran them over 180amps in bursts and alloy at 140amps.
16 amp will be fine.
I only have a 16a supply, and it didn’t put me off. Since you were thinking of an R tech anyway on your existing supply I can’t see a problem - try it and if it constantly trips the mcb that would be the time to sort out a 32a radial and socket (or keep it wound down a bit for the time being).
It’s usually the inrush current on starting that causes the problem on things like motors, transformers etc. I seem to recall that the HF start on a Tig welder is a bit more refined and less likely to cause a high inrush, but I may be wrong.
My 185 mig sometimes trips the 16a mcb when it’s turned up - a C type breaker is recommended.
