Gas inlet to Multimatic Machine
does anyone know offhand what the gas inlet fitting is to the 215? I'm trying to make a quick disconnect and don't have the machine nearby.
Thanks.

I believe its a 3/8" NPT, female in the machine.if there's a welder, there's a way -
Might be 1/2" or 5/8"...... Now I am not sure.if there's a welder, there's a wayComment

It's definitely not just pipe. It a flared fitting.Comment
-
Well, yes... of course. But I am guessing you need the size of the pipe right?
Im gonna bet my luck on 5/8" NPT, yes its flared but that's a given.
Here is a random regulator, its got the 5/8" outlet connected to an 18" hose so I am pretty sure its a standard size in welders and regulators.if there's a welder, there's a wayComment

Yes - It says 5/8" Female @ 18 threads per inch.
Not an 18 inch hose.Comment

NPT stands for National Pipe Thread .... which is a tapered threadOriginally posted by Olivero View Post

Aaaaaah. My bad, I messed up, someone told me it was just a designation for a pipe thread, tapered or not.
Thanks H80N for clearing that up.if there's a welder, there's a wayComment

Those disconnects are pricey. I was looking to find a end so I can use normal cheap air line disconnects. I have 3 bottles & regulators that I'm swapping around all the time and it's a pain.
Thanks for your help.Comment
