Title: Help with Mixed Gas Regulator
Post by: DoWn2DiE on November 14, 2012, 11:13:15 PM
Ok long story short I have a 50/50 mixed gas tank 200bar here female thread. and want to get a corny setup operational. I Bought this regulator today which fits the tank, its argon/co2 regulator 300 bar.

I have a co2 regulator aswell. is it just a matter of swapping the clocks? as the pressure out is in litre/min flow.

this is the co2 one.

Yes, no problem to do this, I have done it before, I just bought the gauge in Radionics (0-1.5 Bar)

Appreciate that will.
did you have trouble removing your clocks Aleman? mine seem to be liquid pfte on the screw from the factory and tight as a nuns arse even if I wanted to remove them.

yes, I think it was a 14mm spanner, everything on a reg is super tight and sealed
