SPARC Argon Regulator & Flow Meter - Gas Regulator for MIG/TIG Welding

Perfect, inexpensive and works excellent

This replaced a failed regulator on my mig welder. I wasn’t sure about the needle valve style of flow control. I was used to the handle style. Also I had dial gauges so the new glass scale was new to me. Installation was easy. It went together as it should, seems well made, and functioned properly out of the box. I got used to the flow control right away, and found it much easier to control the gas flow than the old style.

Perfect for my setup. Quality product at a reasonable price. A must for TIG welding with Argon gas.

Decent value for a regulator. Really like the ball flowmeter which absolutely lets you know that gas is flowing (My Hobart regulator died after a year with a stuck needle showing gas flow when there wasn't any). My MIG welder worked really well after changing the regulator. I had to modify the outlet to fit my gas hose. I had a 3/16" i.d. gas line that would not fit the abnormally large (0.33" O.D.) barbed fitting. I ended up buying a 3/16" barbed fitting to CGA 032/033 and a 9/16-18 nut for 3/8" tubing to retrofit onto the regulator. Worked well. I see that competing brands (The same regulator body looks similar on many other brands) often have a smaller barbed fitting, but the pressure gauge is nice on the Sparc version.

Just received and put in use, easy installation and easier to use, than the pressure gauges that came with the tig welder. Good price and lifetime warranty

I purchased this flow meter to replace my gauges on my MIG welder. The gauge is made well, and it's packaged extremely well, so it will arrive in good condition. It operates smoothly and the flow reading is clear and easy to read and adjust.

This was replacement unit for the first flow meter that I received. The first one leaked slightly for no obvious reason. It was used on an old welder that hadn't even gone through its original small roll of wire yet. The tank and valve were brand new and undamaged - when I shut the tank valve off the tank gauge read 2200PSI. I could then watch it slowly drop to '0'. In other words, if I stopped welding without shutting off the tank, in a while the tank would be empty. The replacement flow meter doesn't do that. I called the company and their customer service was 'top shelf'. A very good outfit!

Flow meter arrived as promised. Well packed. Only issue so far is that it leaked- After loosing a tank of argon I did a leak check with soapy water an found that the tank pressure gauge was leaking. Not hard to fix with teflon tape- but frustrating none the less. Note: gauge and numbers on the dial and flow meter are very small.

Look good not try yet but it’s looking good quality. Thank you

works good for the price

Same as description

Awesome packaging!

I have had to return two of these regulators due to serious gas leaks. Despite the unit being well packed, the part that mates with the gas cylinder has minute dents and scratches on its sealing face. The sealing surface is metal to metal and sensitive to poor handling. These damages cause the high pressure gas to leak. The first one leaked so bad you could hear it easily. The second one leaked less than the first. There should be zero leaks with these products out of the box. Keep in mind that the gas leaked costs over 110$ CAN for a fill up. It is not packaging damage, the damage must be happening at the manufacturer before packing.
