Title: O2 Bubbler Connection Problem (edited title)
Post by bejeeber on Sep 3rd, 2009 at 1:55pm
I mail ordered a bubbler.

BUT it has this sorta threaded connector on the top:

Apparently for this type of regulator:

My regulator features more of a "nib" O2 output connector though:

What to do? Is there an adapter or something I can get to reconcile my bubbler with my regulator? If so, much likelihood of getting one at a local type medical/oxygen supply place?

If it were me I'd drop a length of hose to just off the bottom of the bubbler and then use a tube of silicon sealant to make it air tight at the top.

Hopefully someone will be along with a "proper" solution for you.

Good luck...

I'd suggest if what you are saying there is a threaded connector at the top it  is a compression fitting in that if you undo the threaded section you will find that you can push a length of o2 hose through & into the bubbler or it will make a connection with a hose that is already there, when you tighten the threaded fitting it should clamp down onto the o2 hose creating a leak proof joint.
Can you take a photo of the threaded connection when it is disassembled it will help identify how it works.

Cheers
Barry

Thanks Barry but that threaded section doesn't undo - it really looks like its made to fasten to the type of male connector seen on this type of regulator (towards bottom of photo):

Looks like you may have to take both to a gas supplier & have them match up some fittings for you.
Good Luck
Cheers
