I am just switching from using k tanks to using liquid o2. The top of the tank has alot more to it than the old one lol. Can anyone guide me through what all the valves on top are and which valve to use to hookup my regulators. I have searched for info and cant seem to find anything. Thanks so much

Regulator goes on the stem labeled GAS or GAS USE.

Here try these threads (in order by how helpful they might be to you) and if you have more questions ask then...

I just switch to liquid from K's as well, today actually. They told me all about the tank there at the welding store, everything I needed to know. Whoever your renting that big a$$ tank from should have at least gave you the low down especially if its your first time using liquid. Seems strange since they are trusting you with their tank. Anyways don't worry if you hear the tank blow out a lot pressure as it can be loud, it won't blow up, it's suppose to bleed out when needed. If you are using the tank enough like you should be it shouldn't bleed out on ya though.

If you open up the valve labeled liquid make damn sure noone is in front of it! You just hook up your regulator to valve labled gas use. If you are running a small shop you wont ever need pressure builder. Dont use liquid labeled side. I do understand the curiosity that goes with wanting to shoot liquid oxygen at your wall. Just dont let it touch anyones skin if you try it.
