The guy says they can but I don't really trust anyone off of ebay. Just curious if they can be used ?

 

Sure, they can be used, but take note of the threaded fitting on the valve. It's male thread.

If I were you, I'd skip it. When you buy a cylinder, you have to maintain certifications and have it inspected every so many years...which is costly. I worked it out with my local gas company so that I bought the bottle, but as long as I don't paint it or mess it up, I just swap it when I run it dry.

If you do buy it, you'd better check with your local gas company and see if they will fill it. By the time you pay for shipping on that, you can buy a bottle locally and not have the worries.

thats what we do around here. I bought a tank off of the same guy i got my welder from (company out of illinois) and it came unlabeled.... the gas company was kind of sketchy on taking it, but they final decided to. So now everytime i get a new tank.

I'm due for a bigger one though, anything bigger than the 3 foot tanks you have to sign a lease for, for so long. and my 3foot tank just runs out to fast, but i know i won;t be staying around this town for the length of the lease...

 

My dad has i Medical/Oxygen company that i worked at for about 3 years. You could rig up something, but filling is where you will have a problem. Medical O2 cost 10X more to fill then the other does. As they are filling, various tests are done with chemicals and Super Expensive electronics to insure that the gas is clean and pure for someone to breath.

 

Good to know, only looking for other options because I just got a price quote from a welding shop around here and they want $250 for the bottle which is more then my machine cost.
