my original argon valve was bent up and leaked, so I ordered a new one. it had again, different sized threads, jeez.
so I went to ace ( r towel advice) and went with barbed fitting at both ends since the new argon valve came with a 1/4 barb already. question - when you are done welding and want to purge the lines of argon, after shutting the valve on the tank, do you have to waste wire or is there a way to purge without wasting wire? also, I expected the bead to stay at 15 psi when i turned the brass valve open, but it only rises to 15 psi or what ever I set it at, when I pull the red trigger on the mig - is this normal? also - I prepped some of my old real estate signs for practice : ) jim Attached image(s) |

Here's some welding stuff. Copper strip use on page 3.

I shall try that approach next time. Good tip! |
