Please help! Which regulator do I use for nitrogen?

Which regulator do I use for nitrogen tank for the inert gas method?

Depends on what country you're from. The threaded connectors are different size in the US as compared to, say, the UK, or another European country. Let's start with where you're from.

Ooh. I'm from the US.

Ok. You need a regulator with flowmeter greater than 15 lpm liters per minute (nitrogen). They usually come with a "barb" where you connect a hose. The barb is 1/4" size and one can get a hose to fit that easily at big box housegoods stores.
These regulators will have the CGA-580 connection that will work for a nitrogen tank. (This connection works for argon, CO2, nitrogen etc.) See if you can find one, maybe on the "jungle" site, or from a welding" site, and post back what you find.

Are you planning on using a bag or a hood?

I'm looking for a good regulator, locked*n*loaded, USA. What is a "jungle" site? Do you have a specific regulator. The connection end seems to be the problem. And the regulators I'm finding all use PSI and BAR as output measures, while everyone else is talking about 15-20 LPM. Thank you L*N*L!
