Gas regulator Clarke MIG 151TE
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

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