2 welders -gas hookup

[nerraw117]

I have a Lincoln small mig sitting on top of my Lincoln 255. Currently when I want to swap between machines I have to remove the regulator from one welder and install the regulator from the other machine. Anyone got a easier solution? I have seen dual outlet flow meters but they are high $$$.

I use a T fitting off the bottle for a second flow meter for back purging.

Got the T off amazon.

Just put a Y after the output of the regulator, then a line and preferably a shutoff to each machine. Although by the time you get that done $ wise, you will probably be at around the same $ to do what RXtacy did. They also make quick disconnects for inert gas line, but they aren't super cheap and you will have to swap back and forth.

Do you really need to run gas shieled wire in your smaller machine?

An inert gas y fitting is the easiest way. They come with or without valves

Inert gas quick connect from Tinmantech is what I have ordered. Move Argon from Spoolgun to TIG torch or tank from welder to welder

If you want to use quick connects, a compressed air fitting is a cheap option. I had two welders and one bottle rigged with compressed air fittings, although I did use a different series of fitting to my compressed air.
