Head to your local welding supply with a homefill nipple and they will hook you up.

I have nipples and parts. Send me a pm if you want some guidance and parts.

You need to go to places that make hydraulic hoses while you wait. They are rated between 2700psi and 3000psi.

I got a manifold, with three pigtails after I use the one pigtail.

Make an offer, and I'll make the whole thing for ya since I'm probably be ordering up parts for the whip i'm gonna build using the one pigtail.

I also got another gangster piece of equipment. which I'll use some A lox tank switcher, or k tank switcher. Which instantly switches from lox tank to the manifold of k's, or lox tank to lox tank.

What I don't know is how low the tank has to be to switch over, and it needs to be hardwired to electrical supply. They go for 1000 used.

But that'll be pretty gangster with 1 lox, and 3-4 backup k's. Or using two loxs, and switching them manually to keep the lox's going and from venting. This way, you get two tanks delivered at once, and use both without switching regs over all the time, or running out. Also, when the second lox runs out, you hook up the 3-4 k tanks til you get the two tanks delivered. The manifold has caps for the pigtails.

Would love to see a picture of this set-up funkshizzle... Even though it sounds ridiculous. I rock two liquid tanks in my shop by myself. Just gotta bust ass once you get the second one filled.

Ya, it's a ton of manifolding. The output has like a whole nother manifold. I'll find a link to one that's a slightly different model. I never found a pic for the one I have. Hard to get ahold of directions. I might try again.

bc-2-9-4 is the model #

pages 6-9 are the closest. Its definitely for oxy, medical. It's manual and automatic. I think it just alarms, then you turn the knob. Figuring out setting it, and wiring power supply is now on the to do list. I think western sent me a pdf like a year ago, and it was pretty confusing. I'll have to get into it hardcore again. Calling, emailing, asking questions, finding power supply box, all that kind of stuff. Who knows, hopefully there's a way to hook up a power plug of some sort. Whether it's industrial or what. AT least as a backup, industrial maintenance and industrial electricians will be able to figure it out.

I don't got room for this now, but someday when I get a big shop going it's gonna be killer.

I got mine from a guy who demolition/remodeled a medical facility. He didn't keep the power supply and didn't know anything about it. I know he took down other stuff from there, so there's a good chance it still works. It's not like they called him to remove it cause they were getting a new one. They would have called a medical oxygen tech or something. So, I think it was a smaller medical facility of some kind that went out of business. ANother possibility is that it was not up to medical industry code, or the new building would need a new one up to new codes anyways. SO, I think it works.

Here's some ebay ones, most not for oxy, or oxy only.

O shit, I just noticed they got a power supply, I'm have to see if that one works with it, then I'll have it locked down.

looks like the

lc series one on ebay for $125 is nitrogen, can probably be used for oxy too. You gotta build the manifold, and bam.

I don't remeber about nitrogen, but co2 ones can be used as well I think.
