Right, been using a BOC130 mig, (same as snap on and cebora 130). I have been using disposable bottles up until now but I just got what I thought were all the parts to swap to big bottles, I can get the bottle attached to the reg, and the pipe that goes from the reg to the mig looks ok, but i cant see how to attach it to the hose pipe to the gun?







I assume the top part of the hose in the bottom pic should be connected to the old hose that went into the disposable bottles regulator? But I assume there must be an adaptor?




Any ideas

THanks

If you look closely at where the white plastic pipe pushes into the fitting you will see a small ring around it that needs pushing towards the fitting while you pull on the pipe,which then just needs pushing into the new regulator.

its a quick release, think plastic plumbing joints, push in the collar and pull apart then just push the hose in, give it a gental pull to make sure its a good joint

If you're struggling just cut it off with a sharp stanley blade as not to crush it and it's just a push-fit into the new black hose.
