Reply:my argon regulator doesn't fit my nitrogen tank.  Similar size but the threads are different.My angle grinder is my best friend!
Reply:I don't use nitrogen, but when I was searching for regulators recently on ebay, I noticed nitrogen was always listed separately...you know, some are argon/co2/helium and whatnot, but never did I see a nitrogen in there with the other gases, only by itself.  They both use 580 connectors, though.  Check these two out just for comparison.http://cgi.ebay.com/ARGON-REGULATOR-...QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Uniweld-Turbotor...QQcmdZViewItemIt MAY hook up (I am not sure), but there might be very large discrepencies in the measured flow and actual flow, because of the differences in the gases.Last edited by smithboy; 07-15-2006 at 10:01 AM.Smithboy...if it ain't broke, you ain't tryin'.

Reply:We use an argon gauge on the nitrogen all the time when pruging S/S, never had a problem.StephenI'd rather be hunting........USE ENOUGH HEAT.......Drifting around Aussie welding more pipe up, for something different.....wanting to get home.
