SPARCArgon Regulator & Flow Meter - Welding Gas Regulator for MIG Welding & TIG Welding 0-70CFH CGA580 LIFETIME USA WARRANTY

This replaced a failed regulator on my mig welder. I wasn’t sure about the needle valve style of flow control. I was used to the handle style. Also I had dial gauges so the new glass scale was new to me.Installation was easy. It went together as it should, seems well made, and functioned properly out of the box.I got used to the flow control right away, and found it much easier to control the gas flow than the old style.

I was looking for a flow meter for argon gas and found this one on amazon. It was half the price to comparable ones and when i got it was much better quality than expected. Definitely recommend this product

Decent value for a regulator. Really like the ball flowmeter which absolutely lets you know that gas is flowing (My Hobart regulator died after a year with a stuck needle showing gas flow when there wasn't any). My MIG welder worked really well after changing the regulator. I had to modify the outlet to fit my gas hose. I had a 3/16" i.d. gas line that would not fit the abnormally large (0.33" O.D.) barbed fitting. I ended up buying a 3/16" barbed fitting to CGA 032/033 and a 9/16-18 nut for 3/8" tubing to retrofit onto the regulator. Worked well. I see that competing brands (The same regulator body looks similar on many other brands) often have a smaller barbed fitting, but the pressure gauge is nice on the Sparc version.

I purchased this flow meter to replace my gauges on my MIG welder. The gauge is made well, and it's packaged extremely well, so it will arrive in good condition. It operates smoothly and the flow reading is clear and easy to read and adjust.

Works like it should, with a good price. How long it will work only time will tell. For argon users the calibration is on the side. the CO2 is facing front, and it's not movable.

This was replacement unit for the first flow meter that I received. The first one leaked slightly for no obvious reason. It was used on an old welder that hadn't even gone through its original small roll of wire yet. The tank and valve were brand new and undamaged - when I shut the tank valve off the tank gauge read 2200PSI. I could then watch it slowly drop to '0'. In other words, if I stopped welding without shutting off the tank, in a while the tank would be empty. The replacement flow meter doesn't do that. I called the company and their customer service was 'top shelf'. A very good outfit!

Ensure do soap test and tape

Surprised for made in the USA plastic tube leaning and gage low by 300psi but does hold pressure over night.
