You need check valves in the lines to keep from cantaminating the bottle supplying less pressure. Mixing gas is a complex process and is done with equipment designed for the process. As a former commercial diver breathing He and O2 mixes we did mix but had a lot of equipment to test that we were getting what was required. Just a suggestion but you are better off buying correct mixes from the get go. Dan
you talked earlier in one of your you tubes about mixing helium with argon can you please go into detail on how to get a 75 argon and 25 helium mix (how to set gauges) for a hotter arc I have 2 regulators one out of each tank going into back flow valves then into a “y” fitting coming out into my TIG just want to make sure i’m doing it right and how to get a 75/25 mix thanks Jody I have learned a lot from you keep up the great work Steve
