Get To Know The Pro Spot Gas Regulator For MIG Welding:

Shielding Gas plays a vital role in welding. It ensures proper clean welds and keeps them porosity free. Proper set up and correct shielding gas are a must for quality welding results.

Facts:

Many gas regulators in the field are measured in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI), or most commonly Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH).
The Pro Spot regulator, however, is measured in LITERS PER MINUTE(L/min). This can cause confusion regarding what the proper setting should be for steel, aluminum and silicon bronze.
It is very important to make sure the settings are correct to achieve the desired welding results.

Recommended settings on the Pro Spot supplied regulator (82-7001):

NOTE: The regulator needle should never be maxed out or in the red (above 15LPM) for any of the MIG welding processes.

ALUMINUM: 4-10 L/min
The thinner the aluminum, the lower the gas setting. This helps with splatter and weld height inconsistencies.

STEEL: 9-11 L/min

SILICON BRONZE: 4-9 L/min
