- Standard practice is 18-20 PSI at the regulator. Like Jim said, if you weld outside on a breezy day your welds will be ca ca, so don't weld outside on breezy days! ;-) <>< Whitney Haist Orinda, CA Ch

- Normally a flowmeter, not a pressure regulator is used for shielding gas. Start at about 15 on the vertical scale where the ball floats and adjust from there. I think that equates to 15 liters per mi
