Torch line to regulator fitting for 140ST

[RichardH]

Only the LWS had it. Apparently, compressed gasses use their own fittings. The hardware store had a barb that was almost right, but as far as I could tell, it had tapered threads, and the ones on the regulator were straight.

Yup. And to confirm your K.I.S.S. solution, I took my regulator to the LWS and they matched it to a 3/16" hose barb with the proper thread. Didn't even charge me for it, since I'd just bought a tank and a bunch of consumables.

(To Don's point, while the 1/4" barb seems to be standard on flow regulators, it wouldn't cost much for Everlast to add a 3/16" barb in the box to match the welder's fitting.)

No surprise, but the LWS didn't have other adapters (like to convert to pipe thread), but I've found those elsewhere.

Cheers,
Richard
