No problems. The Allegro Hood barb connection appears to be a whats called a "High Flow" quick connect plug.@devils~advocate and anyone else who knows stuffI've gotten myself terribly confused. Seeking guidance. I have my tank and regulator all set up and the hose barb fitting to connect to the vinyl tubing. That's a go.
I recently decided to use the allegro hood (9910-d). It came yesterday. I don't know how to connect it to my vinyl tubing. The specs say allegro uses rectus obac quick connect couplers (I believe typically this is connected to a breathing air hose which is attached to a compressor.)
My hose is 1/4 in, using the argon nut and nipple at the regulator. The hose is too small to fit on the end of the hood's low flow connector.
Ideas? Much appreciated!!! 2 photos, the first is regulator to hose using the argon nut and nipple. The second is the hose, the hood's hose and low flow quick connect coupler, and on the right is my spare argon nut/nipple and a hose clamp I didn't need so far.
Can't express how grateful I am! Of course I ordered an air hose (flexilla) along with the female v style (Milton, brass) right after I read your first post, before this oneActually after thinking about it....you could use just the vinyl hose & the barb that comes with the regulator.
Instead you can get:
Barb fitting w/ male threads
Quick Connect Coupler 'V' style - Female
This barb fitting would fit into the coupler. I'd say to use some hose clamps, sealant tape...should be air tight.
No problems, glad to help.Can't express how grateful I am! Of course I ordered an air hose (flexilla) along with the female v style (Milton, brass) right after I read your first post, before this one. But all things are returnable and hopefully this will get me in the right place. Ironically that link to the description of air hose fittings is the one I read that blew my mind causing me to post for help!! Hahaha you may have guessed I'm no engineer.
Again, many thanks. I will post once assembled.
Ive read that the dual stage ones can give finer control over the output, esp at low pressure settings. Which is hte kind of pressure a hood/bag system uses...low ones.Hello,
This is my preferred method as well, however instead of exit bag I have EEBD hood with the hose. I have been wondering how big difference having single stage regulator vs dual stage regulator with 200 bar 10 liter argon gas cylinder is? Is it better to wait until dual stage regulator that I have ordered arrives to be sure the process is guaranteed to be successful?
Since the single stage regulator would fluctuate, while dual stage one as far as I have understood is guaranteed to keep steady flow?
@devils~advocate you have a lot of knowledge regarding the inert gas method. I am planning to combine full suspension hanging with inert gas method. i plan to pass the rope through a hole at the bottom of the exit bag and tightly seal the hole. I have more than enough money needed to buy all the equipment. Could you please tell me if it's better to use exit bag or expensive scuba / other masks ? PPH says there should be some space left in the bottom so that Co2 escapes, but if we use scuba or other tight-fitting masks, we will be breathing in the exhaled co2 and 02. I think it only prolongs the suffering and cause co2 buildup in the blood, or ? I am new to inert gas method. Thanks :)Ive read that the dual stage ones can give finer control over the output, esp at low pressure settings. Which is hte kind of pressure a hood/bag system uses...low ones.
I'd probably say use a different gas, but argon is an inert gas & causes asphyxiation just like helium or nitrogen.
10 liters (water capacity of cylinder) ....probably about the same as 2.2 m3 or about 77 cubic feet of compressed gas argon.
This is more than enough.
Well I appreciate the accolades. But Im learning a lot from others as well. Gas Monkey mentioned a lot in his posts....its worth reading what he has to say about this topic.@devils~advocate you have a lot of knowledge regarding the inert gas method.

Thank you for the reply. I will send you a DM.Well I appreciate the accolades. But Im learning a lot from others as well. Gas Monkey mentioned a lot in his posts....its worth reading what he has to say about this topic.
If its better to use an exit bag or a scba system? In my opinion....Im going with the scba system.
The scba system is made for fire fighters in environments that aren't breathable or might even be toxic. There are exhalation one-way valves built into the masks that allow CO2 and O2 to be expelled with normal breathing.
This is not to say that than exit bag or hood system aren't effective. They certainly are. Its just that I didnt trust my ability to make a exit bag that was viable.
Think of the scba system this way.....they are made for fire fighters in extreme environments...toxic gases, smoke, etc
We're taking advantage of the way these systems work but using it in a reverse way.....
Same with the exit bag & hoods. They all work with the same goal in mind.
What is the reason to not recommend argon gas? It has the same effect as other inert gasses, but just is heavier and does not float the same way?Ive read that the dual stage ones can give finer control over the output, esp at low pressure settings.

I havent heard of any reasonings not to use it. I thought nitrogen could give a sense of euphoria and an almost anesthetic effect.What is the reason to not recommend argon gas? It has the same effect as other inert gasses, but just is heavier and does not float the same way?
