Western Enterprises makes an adapter for virtualy any match. Your local supplier should have 'em; if not, do you have an AIRGAS dealer? They've got 'em.

summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

Thanks for the help. The guy at the muffler shop was nice enough to let me use his extra tank because all the airgas stores were closed for the holidays. I guess I will just refill my bottle on monday.Comment

Ahh, unless I miss my guess....you borrowed an Oxygen bottle, and are trying to use a regulator set up for Argon mix. Not a good idea, safety wise. The Argon regulator is not cleaned for oxygen service. There could be petroleum based residue on it, or in it, which could catch fire, or even explode. Besides the safety issue, Oxygen is not going to work as a mig cover gas.Comment
