    I am unclear what you are after, these comments appear to contradict what you are after.
    So are you after a regulator that includes a pressure gauge ???????

    BOC.

    Go to you local BOC welding supply place and discuss your needs with them; they can point you in the right direction.

    the type of gas the regulator is for doesn't 'REALLY" matter. the only thing that might change is the scales on the actual gauges.


    you can get them here for like $45
    GAS BOTTLE PRESSURE FLOW REGULATOR DUAL GAUGE ARGON CO2 NITROGEN MIG TIG WELDING | eBay

    Argon CO2 Gas Pressure Regulator Gauge Flow Meter Mig Tig Welding Welder Tools | eBay

    but I mean, its probably hard to trust 3000psi of stored pressure to a fairly chinesium grade product. totally depends on the application though is it for welding, homebrew, air rifle etc etc

    saw them whilst looking and my thoughts exactly, im not going to be near a chinese gauge with a full tank of gas behind it. i value my life.

    You will be hard pressed to find a gauge not made in China, e.g. BOC, Miller, Cigweld, Harris, Victor, all made in China, however the these well known brands have a reputation to hold up.

    yes true but if you get off ebay its unknown and if explodes its your own fault, if you get it from BOC and it explodes lawyers will come running to you to assist.
