Contact SupplierA welding regulator is necessary to monitor the flow of shielding gas to the welding puddle. Gas must come out smoothly and controlled to the welding arc. If you were to skip the regulator and hook up a hose directly to a pressurized gas bottle, the gas could be released in its entirety in seconds. Likely it would blow out the arc in the process. The regulator does just what it sounds like, it regulates the gas flow. The pressure can then be set to a usable and less wasteful level.
