i bought a nitrogen test rig off SRW and it comes with a female connection, hence the adapter:D

Thanks

Hi Al, Contact that site and ask them the cost of shipping it to you.

Try BOC/ Their Agents, ( Or their equivlant in Ireland). Basically I assume any " Industrial Gasses" Stockist should be able to help.
Or have you already been there? In which case
the post is self explainatory!
And Norm's is a good suggestion.

The adaptor fits a universally standard gas bottle connector.

I would imagine that your regulator has a standard female thread in it.

Have you tried your local, nearest, gas bottle supplier or supplier of pressure regulators, they should be able to supply spare parts.

Come to that, why not go back to SRW ?

[monkey spanners]

Welding supplies company should be able to get a new 'thingy' to screw into your existing regulator and to fit standard bottles.

Have a look at these 2 links, it's the best I can find.
I hope they are of use?

Alec,
Can I just ask you to clarify one thing?

You are going to fit this adaptor straight in to a regulator, without any hoses in between, aren't you?

Reason I ask,
The only test rigs I ever seen has been designed to fit downstream of a regulator fitted on the cylinder.
Normally I would expect to see a hose coming from the test rig with a female connector for a regulator on it's end.
These rigs would not been designed to take the pressure in the OFN cylinders and would probably explode if connected without a regulator...

(And I never seen a regulator sold without the cylinder connector in place, as it's a vital part of the regulator, to be strength tested by the manufacturer)

Hi Viking

The adaptor is to fit to a 2 stage nitro regulator, not to attach the test rig direct to the bottle, i presume it being a brass fitting that it can handle the pressure??:eek:

thanks for the advice though
