I received that Victor Medalist 1400 flowmeter, and it appears to be
in good shape. However, it has some sort of a weird thread, maybe
9/16-18 or some such.
Could someone clarify what thread is common on these regulators.
I believe that I have a matching tap and have some brass rod, so I
could make an adaptor to 1/4 in pipe thread, but I wanted to check
first to see if there is some very simple answer to how to connect
this medalist to hose.

5/8-18
You are using a regular inert gas hose and it doesn't fit?

Grant, I was using homemade hose. If I can buy something standard, I
will be happy. Looks like what I needed to look for was "inert gas
hose", as you suggested. Plenty of stuff available. Thanks

What about the other end, at the welder? That should also be an inert gas
fitting.
You can buy any adapter you need from Western Enterprises. Their catalogs are
online. http://www.westernenterprises.com/enterprises/indcontents.html

Please log in for more thread options Grant, thanks. I just bought a complete hose and I think that it will
serve me better.
