skip Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi everyone, New to the site. It has been almost 2 years since my last attach and I just found this site hunting down any new cures/treatments. After reading a lot of the site, I have ordered supplies for the D3 program and some RC seeds. But I need to replace my O2. My insurance will only cover the little bottles and my regulator will only do 8 l/min. I want to take charge and set up a welding O2 rig. Does anyone have a list of everything I would need? I don't want to buy a bottle and end up with the wrong regulator or mask or adapter or what ever. Thanks for any help and I love the site.

alleyoop Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I want to take charge and set up a welding O2 rig. Does anyone have a list of everything I would need? Hi Skip and Welcome! See that little "Menu" tab on the upper left side of this page? Simply mouse over it to open it, and then click on "CH.com Oxygen Page." I think you will find the answer to your questions there, but if you have any others, feel free to fire away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Skip, there's a very good illustrated discussion of tank types, regulators, and other topics here: http://morrobayphotos.com/ch/O2primer.htm More extensive discussion here: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/O2/index.html You can find information in the last section here about places where you can buy what you need: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1299901790. You can probably buy a good regulator where you get your tanks. Quite a few people use the one illustrated on this page, second row, far right, "Oxygen Regulator." I'm assuming that it or something like it can be purchased at most welding oxygen places, or maybe there's a Harbor Freight store near you. This regulator does not provide an lpm reading, but you can just open the valve to the flow rate you need. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?keyword=regulators If you're considering a more complex setup, maybe using a demand valve, there's a lot of good information at ch.com. Here's one thread, but you can use their search engine to find more: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1226213955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
