Advice please - have a new Clarke 151TE with the small gas bottle and regulator shown and i want to swap to the big bottles using the full size regulator.

The pipe on the MIG is only as big as a straw and disappears into the welder - I guess i would be best to swap this for 6mm pipe?

what bits do I need and should i take the welder apart to swap the tiny pipe or does this go all the way to the nozzle?

Thanks

can't upload pics sorry

There are conversion pipes available like this one , then you need the regulator & bottle.

I have this regulator - if the pic appears - if not its a Saffire with pressure and flow dials.

i have same welder as you, i just extended the 4mm nylon line with push fit straight coupler, and then connected into regulator with appropiate push fit pneumatic fitting
