Stargas welding gas.

[lightning]

We've just been given the agency for this, stock arriving as we speak.

I'm not into welding so don't ask me too much technical but we've small/medium/large bottles of lots of different gas including co2 and argon mix for welding.

Prices confirmed by the end of the week. No rental at all.

Ok so approx prices.

10 litre bottle. £60 deposit. Pure Argon £35+ vat for a refill. Argon co2 mix £27+ vat for a refill.

20 litre bottle £70 deposit. Pure Argon £54+ vat for a refill and Argon co2 mix also £54. I can probably get a couple of quid off these.

No rental. Stargas are the only guys outside boc that fill the bottles to 200 bar, the main reason we went with them over the cheaper hobbyweld which are 130 bar.

Needs a quick edit - filled to 200 bar I assume NOT 20.

Must get round to converting mine. Bought gasless with every intention to convert to gas with the proper bottles instead of the silly wee disposable ones that you'd get with a sodastream and never got round to it.

I've a Clarke 151EN and the manual says the following:

When using a rechargeable bottle insert the plastic gas tube into a large gas bottle adaptor. Connect the tail end of the adaptor to a length of 1/4" (6 mm.) dia. flexible gas pipe and connect this pipe to a gauged pressure regulator which is screwed onto the rechargeable bottle. The gauged pressure regulator is then used to control the flow of gas...

You have all that sort of stuff in stock if I brought the welder down sometime to work out what I need?

@lightning is this still a thing?

It certainly was a few months back as I got a bottle off Simon!

 

[Nicky]

I got a refill about a month ago too.

I use the StarMig which is the same as BOC’s Argon Shield for welding mild steel.
