past the TIG torch shut-off.

Hi Stuart,
I would T the line into the flowmeter and put a separate valve on. That
way you can see if you are losing too much flow into the torch.

My present setup used another bottle with a regulator and flowmeter, but
my spare bottle got traded for an Argon/C02 bottle, so next time I do a
stainless steel job, I will need to figure something out.

Good Luck,
Bob
