[TheForge] Homemade gas saver / economizer valve for torches?

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

this was discussed several years ago on keenjunk. below is
the link. search for 'weldit'.

http://www.keenjunk.com/_junkyard/jp9912_3.htm

given the price for the weldit gas saver at mscdirect.com i am not sure
it is worth my time to build one unless i had everything on hand and did
not have to spend any money to build it.

while i have not checked this out the problem may be finding ball values
that have the correct type of threads to attach welding hose to. also
need to make sure the ball values are compatible with the fuel you are
using.
