Title: O2 ???
Post by pfunk on Dec 18^th, 2006, 2:21am

Just curious? I remember hearing someone sya that it could be just as good to use welder's O2. I have just started getting my CO2 from a local welding company for my restaurant. I was thinking about asking them if they could get me O2 tanks as well. If they can do this for me, is it hard to connect the hoses/mask to the tank?

Pfunk... why have you gone guest? :( I hope it was accidental.
I use O2 from a welder supply place. I purchased a new tank (you can also lease them), got a 540 regulator (you can find them on Ebay), and bought a clustermasx. I believe you can purchase a non-rebreather mask from a medical supply place. It works as well as medical O2.
pf wishes and hurry back, nani :)

edited to add: you can't tell them you'll be using it as medical O2...they wont sell it to you.

If you are going to go to your local welding supply company and ask them for a tank for you, you had better not tell them you plan to breathe in the oxygen. They legally cannot do that. Just go buy a tank and get it filled. You don't have to tell them anything, but if they ask, just say you plan on doing some welding - build a fence, heck - you are a sculptor and are planning the newest, biggest metal piece of art for your local park.

In other words, lie like a rug.
