quick disconnect fittings for argon
Hi, I'm looking for an Australian source for quick disconnect gas fittings to use with argon. Ideally they would like guaranteed leak proof. The air line fittings I've got are too leaky. Any suggestions?
thanks

Cejn air line fittings may be suitable, there are many different types but you will pay much more for them compared to low quality brands such as nitto

thanks China - any idea of local suppliers?
I also found this great catalogue from eaton, but again - not sure where I can get them in Australia. http://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/publ...pct_284126.pdf

Brenton21 I had no idea nitto made anything but air fittings. I've been asking around heaps locally to see if any of the usual suspects have anything close to what I want but still no luck.
China - thanks for the contacts. I think that's my next port of call, but I'm not holding out for a local stockist - I'm near Byron Bay in northern nsw (probably better described as far south queensland) and it seems that finding any of the real cool shed gear requires a drive up to the gold coast.
Cheers

May I suggest a quick disconnect bayonet fitting which is AGA approved, it is made for natural gas BBQs & heaters.
It will shut off the gas supply when the adaptor is removed from the socket and is available with hoses permanetly connected on the adaptor.
It will be available at major plumbing suppliers eg tradelink/reece or specialist BBQ stores.
Cheers Andy
