Thread: weldcorp 160 mig fitting big bottles help

Hey mate,

I fitted a big bottle to that exact welder no problem. Just get a good argon regulator (Not the tiny thing that comes with the welder), and a suitable adaptor from the regulator to the pipe (Found the right size digging through a box of them at Toolmart in Belmont).

Never used any clamps on it either, and it didn't shift in the slightest.

I've been getting an E size bottle from BOC, ~$15something per month. Pretty sure you can get them from Air Liquide for maybe a little cheaper, but I haven't researched much into that.

thanks for info mate ,, i have just about finished my trailer and must put some pics up if i can work out how to ,, im sorry didnt reply straight away as dont get on here much and had hoestly forgoten had written the query down haha i feel like a drop kick but thankyou again for info

if the hose is the 4mm od nylon stuff I think. hardware distributors in bibra lake sell the fittings festo in Belmont. I think. and all pirteck hose masters enzed sell them. bunnings dont sell them.
I jade the same issue with mine and all I did was took the side panel off it connected the fittings and passed the barbed end of a brass fitting through the hole and used a hoseclamp on some 1/4 inch hose I had. (airline) I think. I run. co2 and migsheild. for positional welds and thin materal.
