Purchase Shielding Gas Saving Products

With The Purchase Of Our Patented Gas Saver System You'll Receive :

A custom manufactured small ID gas delivery hose that reduces gas surge by 80% that includes a special fitting to reduce  peak surge flow rate. 

It simply replaces the existing hose from gas supply (either cylinder or pipeline supply) to wire feeder (or welder).  Gas flow rate while welding is set with your existing flow control to whatever  rate is desired.

Photo's of Fittings for Gas Saver System Part Numbers

The patented GSS consists of a custom manufactured, small ID and large OD gas delivery hose that replaces the existing hose from your gas supply (cylinder or piped) to wire feeder (or welder). It includes a special fitting with a restriction orifice on the wire feeder end  to improve weld starts by reducing  the initial gas surge to a desirable level.   Gas flow rate while welding is set with existing flowmeter, flowgauge or orifice at gas supply to whatever  rate is desired.

Two types of end fittings are available: 

1. The most commonly used fittings for industrial MIG welders (i.e. Lincoln, Miller, Hobart, most ESAB) and many smaller welders sold by these major US manufactures, is the standard Compressed Gas Association (CGA) fitting for Inert Gas, called a CGA 032 or "B" fitting.  Note the dimensions and appearance in Photo A &  B below. 

2. If either your regulator or feeder use another type of gas hose connection, such as a hose barb, or if only a gas hose exits your welder, you can purchase a GSS  with a "Splice Fitting" installed on one or both ends for the same price.   The Splice Fitting  is shown below in Photo C.   See installation for details.

Refer to Photo's A & B above; if both your feeder and regulator have CGA 032 fittings, sometimes referred to as Inert Gas "B"- you can purchase Part Numbers WAT FB3, FB6, FB12, and FB25 which come in fixed lengths with the fittings installed (Photo B).  The GSS is then simply  threaded into the female fittings on the feeder and regulator or flowmeter. 

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CGA "B" FITTINGS:

If either the feeder/welder or regulator/flowmeter does not have a female CGA "B" fitting, or only a gas hose exits your welder you can order the desired length, FB-X, and we will supply a splice fitting on either or both ends for the same price (See Photo C Above.)   You just need to add a note to the order or send an email to TechSupport@NetWelding.com  when you place your order and tell us which end (feeder/welder or gas supply) or both you would like the Splice Fittings installed instead of the CGA "B" fitting.

When you receive your hose with the Splice Fittings, simply 1) cut your existing hose close to the feeder/welder and/or regulator and 2) splice in the GSS hose by inserting the barb fitting into the cut hose.  The most common 1/4 inch hose barb will come installed on the GSS you'll receive, if a smaller 3/16 inch barb is needed it is supplied in the package with the screw hose clamp and can easily be installed.  The weld performance results will be the same with either the "B" or Splice Fittings.   Click for more details about installation of Splice Fitting connections.

If you have many MIG welders with different length hoses you may wish to consider purchasing bulk hose and a pair of the special fittings separately (Photo Left).  Email for Details.

Note, the purchase price includes a paid-up license for the use of the Patent.

FLOW RATE LIMITER

Set the maximum flow rate you wish to allow.  Fits most popular flowmeters SEE DETAILS

We have had requests for a  portable flow meter to use for checking flows at the torch.

We added a high quality portable flowmeter shown on the left.  Order as part Number WAT PFM. 

SEE What A Customer Said About Our Portable Flowmeter:

"Your portable flow meter is better than sliced bread.  The welding suppliers in my area looked at me like I had six heads when I described it to them.  When I purchased mine off your website, I showed my normal supplier your site and I believe he already has one ordered for himself!"

The following is an email received from a Welding Engineer on what he was able to accomplish with our Portable Flowmeter: 

 "I received the portable flow meter and used it to measure the output on two robotic torches. I was able to show that our processes are not in control. Both torches were supposed to have restriction orifices in line, but had been modified at some point by drilling or removal of the orifices. When tested, they pushed the ball up to the maximum flow position on the meter. We presently have no plumbed-in gas flow meters on any of our production welding torches. Your portable meter won my argument to purchase and install permanent flow meters across the board (total 40). It will also help us to set up our new inline indicators, as well as troubleshoot future porosity problems. An additional benefit, of course, is that we will probably greatly reduce our gas consumption costs. Thanks for a great tool for a great price!"

Cable and Hose Covers, WAT-HCC are 3.75 inches wide and 25 feet long.  They can hold a 9/16 inch OD control cable and the GSS hose.  Need more room, splice two together side by side.  Need longer length, splice end to end.  Need to make shorter, simply cut with scissors-can't do that with zippered covers!

Special Needs:

If you prefer to purchase a pre-fitted hose assembly for your wire feeder which does not have a CGA 032 fitting, we have supplied some industrial users with a 1/4 inch barb having a "female" CGA 032 fitting on the opposite end.  They just cut their 1/4 inch hose close to the feeder and splice the special fitting.  If you wish to purchase that fitting, require longer hose lengths than listed (we have supplied over 100 foot systems) or want to purchase bulk hose and fittings please, E-mail  your requirements with desired length and gas type.  Also see the following page regarding installation issues - INSTALLATION.
