100% agree with the first 10-15 comments here , simple and to the point and clearly explained . Best video on youtube for setup the gas bottle Thank you very much
Thanks. I'm 67 and new to welding. I wanted to understand the workings of the gas regulator. I'm sure there are comprehensive explanations somewhere on TH-cam but couldn't find anything until now. Much appreciated.
Good video. One suggestion? It's always a good idea to use 2 wrenches when tightening the hose to regulator/flowmeter connection, and hose to machine connection, just to make sure nothing gets bent/broken. Just the way I was taught. I guess sometimes folks can get a little "heavy handed", using just one wrench. Anyway, thanks for the informative vid.
"It's always a good idea to use 2 wrenches when tightening the hose to regulator/flowmeter connection, just to make sure nothing gets bent/broken." - how does that work?
The valve on gas bottles is designed to not be opened fully but only opened half to one turn, so that if there is any emergency to shut off the bottle it can be done quickly.
I wish there was more discussion of the connectors and hoses. I am still wondering what materials they're made from, their dimensions, their operational limits, what standards they adhere to, and what their designations are.
They’re brass and rubber…… 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ ain’t nobody going engineer over some damn hoses.. the design is to move gas from a regulator the the damn machine…..
The instruction I have for my flow metre claim to never stand in front of the regulator as one is tightening it and to allow it to point away from one. How tight? 1/4 turn, and does one check for leaks with soap water? What is the margin of error? Also, what do you mean with "if you've got a gas wrench?" Didn't know there was a specific one made for this.
couple of questions : 1, when I have set it to 20cfh after press the button on the torch and then when it time out , it settles to about 30cfh . I have noticed that after I went to grind the tungsten put it back in the torch I saw that the flow reading had crept up to 35cfh and it was still climbing , slowly but still it was climbing. What does that mean ? Should it do that ? 2, I tried to weld as I am new to all this , as I welded it went to 20cfh , when stopped , settled to 30-ish cfh , then carried on like this for a few more goes . Then thought ok , stop for now , so I turned off the main valve , then just pressed the button to bleed off the gas . The flow gauge went down but the pressure gauge for the bottle stayed where it was . The main valve for the bottle was definitely 100% in the off position . After the flow gauge went right down , I turned the regulator adjusting screw all the way backed out so no pressure on the diaphragm but the the gauge for the bottle, what is left in the bottle stayed where it was . What does that mean ?
I couldn't remember what my comment might be referring to so I reviewed the video. Your absolutely correct. The threads aren't meant to provide a seal. It's the machined surfaces of the fittings being pressed together that seal. Thank you for jump starting my brain.
yes, you would need the proper filler rod., better to just buy the part than welding it. you would be payin more for having it welded vs just buyin the part.
Just Argon and or Helium for TIG welding, Co2 is for MAG. The I in TIG is for inert gas, Co2 reacts with the weld, making it TAG, and there is no such thang
yes it can stay on full time. just back out the adjusting screw on the regulator. counter clockwise(left turn). do not leave tighten when opening any gas cylinder.
@@Kid_Kootenay good to know, i didnt know gastape was different. Almost everyone i saw doing it did it with the white teflon tape, which does work. I dont take your comment as an insult, but it does look like one......
Why would you use an adjustable wrench for tightening fittings. when you can use the proper OE SAE or Metric Wrench? Crescent Wrenches are famous for rounding off.
There is no such thing :P In metric there is liters per minute. For TIG one usualy use 7-9 liters per minute depending on what you are welding and torch setup
I bough the used Tig welding machine at garage sale without Argon bottle and don't know where to buy it. So anyone know please give me some location address in Denver or Aurora Colorado......... Thank's
Talk talk talk. 2wirds... adapt and Adjust I'll just cross my fingers. Expeshely if I can't just through the safety cap any where I please. I'm a certified ignoramus. Maybe I'll just make sure it Flo's good and call it good! This is cake.
Hey! How are you doing? I started streaming to this lyricist who goes by the name Cammy-Kun he is really cool dude, and I hope more people check out his songs instead of sleeping on him. You should check him out, he usually makes music about bullying, depression and other cool topics people can relate to. You would love it, I promise.

@@benjimlem1284 yea I want to hear too
This was so informative, you have no idea how much this video has helped me! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for a simple, easy to understand tutorial! Now I’ve got to go back out to the shop and back that valve off!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
The best and COMPLETE tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you so much, will be referring this video to the students in our welding program🔥
Good video. very easy to completely forget about important basics. Thank you
Saved to reminder, thanks.
Happy to help
Thank you ,good procedure steps to hook from a TiG welder to the argon gas cylinder

keep pissing gas away.
Yea I don't believe that

My pleasure!
Clear and concise. Thank you
Thank you. Great video. I just learned a lot..
Didn't know about the beneficience of backing off the diaphagm. Have a fine day
thanks for the tutorial . very helpful
Thanks for the video baught a new machine just wanted to make shure I was on the right track.
Thank you for your video, excellent very instructive

Sweet.
thank you sir for sharing information
Good video for a beginner like me
Would the use of, gas appropriate, teflon tape be any help to these connections?
never use teflon for the fittings.
I couldn't remember what my comment might be referring to so I reviewed the video. Your absolutely correct. The threads aren't meant to provide a seal. It's the machined surfaces of the fittings being pressed together that seal. Thank you for jump starting my brain.
@@michaeldvorak5556 lol aint no problem.👍
Should you put Teflon on the regulator hose?
Depends on the type of fitting. Gas side no need.
i just got me a miller tig welder (diversion 165) and am getting to tig weld stainless wohoo very informative video thank you
Very helpful 👍🇬🇧
Can Argon gas welding used to weld the front camber arm of a luxury bus of 25Ton ?
yes, you would need the proper filler rod., better to just buy the part than welding it. you would be payin more for having it welded vs just buyin the part.
What about checking for leaks at all the connections? Good practice right?
is there a reason to bleed out leftover gas in a hose/regulator after finishing welding? Can I just close the valve on the bottle?
The valve will work, but gas can get contaminated so that is why there is a purge and a bleed.
great video.
Awesome welding info ℹ👌
I am gonna watch all your videos 📹 🤌
Welcome aboard!
What size hose do you use to feed the argon to the welder?
3/8" is fine
good info!! Thanx.
Great video...
Great video
Question, I am new to argon gas, but what type of hose is used for the argon gas to flow throw? like what material is it?
It’s rubber…. Go to a welding store and ask the guy for a hose for your welder they’ll get you what you need….
Good video thank you
If you're reading the BLACK scale on the tank PRESSURE gauge, then why are you setting the FLOW RATE on the RED scale?
He isn’t reading the black scale bud…. 😂
@@lonewolftech Aaaahh... "bud"... I think you need to reread my question. Apparently reading compression isn't your strong suit.
You didn't show the other one,i want to know how you set it
thank you bro....
It does come with the hose :) save the driving for a beer run
Is that Scott!??
What does he mean when he says he wants the regulator backed out? Open or closed? At about the 5 minute mark
turned anti clockwise so regulator is closed no gas flow to welder
So 100% Argon is fine?
As opposed to 25/75% CO/Ar?
Doh, was thinking of Mig welding....
100% is used for aluminum mostly but should be fine for everything just costs more thats all
Just Argon and or Helium for TIG welding, Co2 is for MAG. The I in TIG is for inert gas, Co2 reacts with the weld, making it TAG, and there is no such thang
Professor Fanwalker haha what?
It is necesary to remove the regulator every day? Can it stay connected to the bottle for the next day?
yes it can stay on full time. just back out the adjusting screw on the regulator. counter clockwise(left turn). do not leave tighten when opening any gas cylinder.
Good info.
Great video, use a open end wrench and not a adjustable wrench
do i need foot pedal for gas shield if im on tig welds?
i m tig welder
your choice when you buy a tig. theres foot and finger controls. also scratch start tig rigs.
What is the difference between a car welding machine with a gas cylinder that does not have a gas cylinder attached?
Funny thing about Argon- When it's Argon you still got it!
Haha.
anyone know the difference between 1/2 x 26 and 1/2 x 27 regulator stem
Very good
Dont you need teflon tape for the regulator- and hosescrewtreads?
Gas fitting tape its yellow normal teflon is white. The yellow is thicker . Imo anyway
@@Kid_Kootenay good to know, i didnt know gastape was different. Almost everyone i saw doing it did it with the white teflon tape, which does work.
I dont take your comment as an insult, but it does look like one......
@@jeffjefferson2676just double it up.
I’m not sure if the tig welder is using the right type of argon , it seems to leave a carbon buildup on the tool steel .
Actually what I mean is excessive soot
To bad the welder doesn't come with that hose. Left out the part where you have to drive all over the place to find the necessary fittings.
If there is no gas in tig welding what will happen in work piece..??
Considering tig means Tungsten INERT GAS welding it’s no bueno
nice vedio
Why would you use an adjustable wrench for tightening fittings. when you can use the proper OE SAE or Metric Wrench? Crescent Wrenches are famous for rounding off.
Not if you use them correctly they’re not 😂
what pressure to setup argon bottle in BAR value?
There is no such thing :P In metric there is liters per minute. For TIG one usualy use 7-9 liters per minute depending on what you are welding and torch setup
Where can i get a regulator like that?
Checkout www.lwelds.com and in the menu you can see them. Thanks for watching.
Doed argon gas explode if mig nozzle clog
Nope, Argon don't ignite at all. The only danger is the high pressure in the bottle.
I know why I'm watching this.
I bough the used Tig welding machine at garage sale without Argon bottle and don't know where to buy it. So anyone know please give me some location address in Denver or Aurora Colorado......... Thank's

Does anyone here actually turn their regular off each time they weld?
Hi
Pn non bar ta ke PA jab
a vieuw minutes?! 10 min to hook up the gas?!
wtf
HAHA.
cool, thanks
Okeyy

What is that gas?
100% argon
Awesome

You Weirdo
To bad you didn’t show me how to set up the other gauge and then explain the correct flow setting on the welder other wise it was almost helpful
What is the difference between a car welding machine that contains a gas cylinder and does not contain a gas cylinder?
The ones with cylinders are using a different wire and are not using a flux core wire they provide better quality welds.
Is it permissible to buy a welding machine for cars that do not incorporate a gas cylinder and in the future to incorporate a gas cylinder?
@@user-rs8mj8jh1w its better to use gas. mig or tig. flux coated sucks.
