O2 Bubbler Connection Problem (edited title)
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?

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.

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...

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.

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
