I received that Victor Medalist 1400 flowmeter, and it appears to be in good shape. However, it has some sort of a weird thread, maybe
Could someone clarify what thread is common on these regulators.
I believe that I have a matching tap and have some brass rod, so I could make an adaptor to 1/4 in pipe thread, but I wanted to check first to see if there is some very simple answer to how to connect this medalist to hose.
Standard inert gas connection:
You are using a regular inert gas hose and it doesn't fit?

Grant, I was using homemade hose. If I can buy something standard, I will be happy. Looks like what I needed to look for was "inert gas hose", as you suggested. Plenty of stuff available. Thanks
What about the other end, at the welder? That should also be an inert gas fitting.
You can buy any adapter you need from Western Enterprises. Their catalogs are online.
Grant, thanks. I just bought a complete hose and I think that it will serve me better.
