Does anyone see any problem with using generic air line quick-disconnect fittings between a TIG welder and the torch? Stop by your local weld supply shop, they make some specifically for that, and they cost about the same. |

I suppose it's possible you could contaminate your shielding gas if the coupler had been used on a lubricated air line or was otherwise fouled. Other than that, I can't imagine it would cause any problems. If you want to do this to switch torches, another option is the Y-valves with inert gas fittings made by Western. http://www.westernenterprises.com/en.../PDFS/wi17.pdf -- Ned Simmons |

As others have said, you can get the right stuff at a welding supply or off the web. They also have quick- connects for the water supply, too. Adding them also adds potential areas for seal wear and leakage, though. Stan |
