welder help
 

I have a craftsman gas mig welder that I recently ordered a new handle assembly for and now I'm having trouble hooking the gas line back up. I've called the company that I ordered the new handle assembly from and they didn't know what I was talking about.

It's basically a barb on one end for a half inch hose, threads for it to mount to the case of the welder, and a push fitting for the 1/8 inch gas line. I found the part number but it's no longer available. It's WE20569-22910070. Any help on this or an alternate part would be great. Thanks

What kind of trouble are you having? The gas line goes from your regulator to the barbed fitting on the back of the welder.

The old 1/8 inch gas line is broken off inside the adapter, so I can't hook up the new line. I was trying to find a new adapter.

Do you have an easy-out? I'm guessing your adapter is just a brass barb with NPT threads on it. You should be able to find it at a hardware store.
