Q 1. Which welding machines does the Draper 35017 regulator work with?

A. Compatible with: CROSARC CAP0980 and CAP1028 (and 1 more); Clarke MIG200; Draper 70052 and 70057 (and 2 more); SIP 05771 and 05795 (and 7 more).

Q 2. Does this regulator fit both disposable and industrial cylinders?

A. The Draper 35017 is designed for industrial/full-size gas cylinders with a standard threaded valve connection (W21.8). It is not suitable for small disposable cylinders — those require a push-fit disposable regulator.

Q 3. What gas types is this regulator compatible with?

A. The Draper 35017 is compatible with Argon, CO2, and Argon/CO2 mix shielding gases. Do not use this regulator on oxygen or acetylene cylinders — these require dedicated oxy-fuel regulators with different fittings and safety specifications.

Q 4. What flow rate does this regulator deliver?

A. The Draper 35017 which covers the full range of standard MIG and TIG welding requirements (typically 6–15 L/min). Set flow rate at 8–10 L/min for indoor MIG welding of mild steel; 6–8 L/min for TIG; increase to 12–15 L/min for larger welds or light site conditions.

Q 5. Do I need a regulator if I'm just using small disposable gas bottles?

A. Yes — even disposable cylinders require a regulator to reduce cylinder pressure to a safe, controllable working pressure. The Draper 35017 is an industrial cylinder regulator — for disposable bottles, see the disposable cylinder regulator range in the Gas & Regulators section.

Q 6. What's the difference between a no-gauge, single-gauge, and double-gauge regulator?

A. A no-gauge regulator simply reduces pressure to working level — you can't see your remaining gas. A single-gauge regulator shows delivery pressure (flow rate). A double-gauge regulator shows both cylinder content pressure and delivery pressure — useful for knowing when to order a replacement cylinder before you run out mid-weld. The Draper 35017 has a gauge — provides gas flow monitoring.

Q 7. My regulator is leaking — what should I check?

A. First, check the sealing washer inside the regulator inlet — a damaged or missing washer is the most common cause of leaks. Turn off the cylinder valve and inspect. Ensure the regulator is fully hand-threaded before applying tool torque — cross-threading causes irreparable damage. If leaking persists, replace the regulator — do not attempt to repair a leaking gas regulator.

Q 8. Can I use this regulator with a full-size hired Argon cylinder?

A. Yes — the Draper 35017 is designed for full-size industrial cylinders with standard W21.8 threaded valves, which is the type used on most hired welding gas cylinders.

Q 9. Do I need a different regulator for CO2 and Argon?

A. CO2 and Argon use different cylinder valve fittings, so regulators are not always interchangeable. A dedicated CO2 regulator fits CO2 cylinders. An Argon regulator fits Argon and Argon/CO2 mix cylinders. Some dual-gauge regulators are designed for both. Check the regulator thread type matches your cylinder before purchasing.

Q 10. Is the Draper 35017 compatible with my welder?

A. The Draper 35017 is a gas cylinder regulator — it is not connected to the welding machine directly, but to your shielding gas cylinder. It is compatible with all MIG and TIG welders in the PartsForMachines range that use industrial gas cylinders. Connect the regulator outlet to your welder's gas inlet hose.
