Has anybody used the new all-in-one nitrogen purging regulator by Western? The purge, braze and test flows/pressures are all preset which I find very interesting but have never heard of them before. Is this legit?
I'll pass on it and use individual adjustable regulator and flow meter, thanks.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and stamps EVER.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals". Their stated reason for this policy "... the animals become dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
from an excerpt by Paul Jacob in Sun City, AZ
I don't know, I think I'd rather have the premium product, IF the preset works as easily as it should. And this thing doesn't look like its going to break very easily....
An adjustable pressure regulator can allow you to dial down the pressure when using it as a blow gun or to choose whatever pressure for high pressure leak testing.
A regulator with a flow meter is better for N2 purge during brazing. For one, you can dial it up and give it a "toot" to pre-purge the lines first and get the air out.
No, that would probably be illegal somehow. I saw this at the AHR Show down here in TX. The rep didn't have a booth set up (or at least I didn't see one) so it peaked my interest but made me skeptical at the same time. But again, I've never even heard of Western before this.
