The Street Rod shown on the web site, packaging and advertisements has an important significance.  The work shop where final construction occurred is also the first place the Gas Saver System (GSS^TM) invention was used! 

However, having managed a Welding R&D Laboratory for a leading shielding gas producer, I realized  a 25 foot conventional  shielding gas delivery hose would cause significant gas waste.   I was also aware that:

1. High pressure is required to automatically maintain flow when inevitable spatter and a bent torch cable cause  flow restrictions making  low pressure devices inappropriate;

2. Some extra gas is needed at the weld start to purge air from the weld area making simple orifices placed at the welder (feeder) a poor solution;

3. Shielding gas surge at the weld start causes inferior weld starts  by pulling air into the shielding gas stream.

If you have a Lincoln, Miller or most Hobart portable 110V and 220V power input welder (or any industrial welder) the solution is simple.  Just replace the gas delivery hose from cylinder to welder with our GSS.   Most of these welders and supplied regulators use standard Compressed Gas Association (CGA) threaded fittings (Photo lower left shows the fitting on our standard GSS hose; FB3, FB6, FB12, FB25.) Just order the length  needed, Click for Order Page.

If you have other than a CGA gas  fitting such as on a small ID gas hose or a barb fitting on your regulator we can provide special fittings to install a GSS hose with a splice connection.

E-mail with details of the length of hose desired and fitting on your current hose.  We can make custom length GSS  hoses if required.

Note: To Maintain Focus on "Saving" Not Selling Shielding Gas Our Patented GSS is Not Available in "Stores"

A home shop fabricator in Georgia with a Miller ^TM 175 amp welder purchased a 50 foot  GSS  so he could use a larger cylinder and mount it on the wall of his shop.  He wrote:

A Professional Street Rod Builder Had This to Say:

With their standard MIG welder gas delivery hose the peak shielding flow at weld start was measured at 150 CFH. That caused air to be sucked into the gas stream causing poor weld starts.  With the GSS replacing their existing hose, the peak flow surge at the weld start was about 50 CFH.  Total gas use was cut in half.

Kyle Bond, President, quickly saw the improvement achieved in weld start quality as a significant advantage!   Kyle, an excellent automotive painter, was well aware of the effects of gas surge caused by pressure buildup in the delivery hose when stopped.  He has to deal with the visible effects in the air hose lines on the spray gun in his paint booth!  The paint surge is visible and creates defects unless the gun is triggered off the part being painted!  We can’t do that with our MIG gun!  See Details of Their Shop.
