This is the second argon tank I've had issues with from my local Air-Gas place. I can't get the regulator to seal properly. Would it be bad to give the regulator threads a wrap of teflon tape? I ask as I've never had to do it before.This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Reply:You shouldn't have to use tef tape. Tef tape is NOT a sealant. Tef tape just helps lubricate the threads so you don't gall them and can make a tighter metal to metal seal easier. Problem is if you apply too much force to a deformed valve face, you can screw up your reg mating surface and it will always leak from that point on..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:I got an MC tank that had a damaged fitting. It still coupled properly but the threads were dinged and it deformed the mating face. I would take it back and swap it. SteveTweco 211i complete with pedal and TIG kit"Victor Style" Oxy/Acetylene outfitUNIWELD Air/Acetylene Kit
