This isn't directly a welding question, but it deals with the same gases used for shielding, and since many of you probably enjoy a cold beer, so I'll go ahead and ask.
My place of work , a live music club/restaurant/banquet facility recently sustained major damage from flooding after the passing of Hurricane Ivan.
We are in the process of replumbing the draft beer and pop systems and I was wondering if the fittings used on CO2 and Nitrogen cylinders had names or thread sizes. The CO2 appears to have a fitting with an external thread and the N has a fitting with an internal thread. I need to order some fittings and custom hoses and it would be helpful to know what to order. We are trying to do the work ourselves to keep costs down. The way the system was plumbed before, the regulators did not live on the tanks, they were wall mounted and connected with a high pressure hose. This was done to allow a changeover valve from our bulk tank to individual tanks.
We also have a beer gas blender which takes in CO2 and N and outputs mixed gas in two variable percentages as Guiness requires a blend richer in N.
Does such a box exist for welding, so that multiple gas blends need not be stocked. I am planning on purchasing an MM251 with both guns in the future and wondered if gas blenders were available for welding as well as beer.
Thanks for any info.
