What Will You Receive When You Purchase Our Patented Gas Saver System ?   

A custom manufactured gas delivery hose that replaces the existing hose from your gas supply to wire feeder (or welder). It includes a special fitting that reduces  the  gas surge at the weld start improving weld start quality.  Your existing flow control sets the  gas flow while welding  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.  

Two types of end fittings are available: 

  1. The most commonly used 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 in Photo A & D 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 "Splice Kit" that utilizes  splice connections.   These are shown below in Photo C.  Or you can ask us to install these special fittings where needed at the same price as an FB assembly. See installation for details.

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

If you have other than these fittings on either the feeder or regulator or flowmeter, or only a gas hose exits your welder order a splice fitting kit (Photo C; WAT S15 and S25 above). Then simply 1) cut your existing hose close to the feeder/welder and regulator 2) cut the GSS hose supplied to the exact length desired and 3) splice in the GSS hose and fittings.  The performance results will be the same with either system.  

If you have many MIG welders with different length hoses you may wish to consider purchasing bulk hose and the special fittings separately (Photo B).  Email for 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 Cover, WAT-HCC are 3.75 inches wide and 25 feet long.  They can hold a 9/16 inch control cable and the GSS hose.  Need more space, splice two together.

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.

Remember, The GSS:

bulletCan reduce gas waste by 50% or more
bulletReduces the gas flow surge at  weld initiation to improve start quality
bulletMaintains you regulator pressure to retain self compensating flow control
bulletProvides a controlled small amount of extra gas flow at the start to displace air that diffused into the torch gas hose and torch nozzle
bulletHas no moving parts to wear or leak
bulletRequires no interaction by the welder
bulletIs inexpensive and pays for itself in a very short time
