right angle argon hose adaptor

Does anyone know of an adaptor that i can use in the back of my welder so the argon hose will come out at an angle instead of straight.

The answer depends on your machine, and how the fittings are set up now. If you can remove your current fitting, you can carry it into that aisle at the Home Deep (usually near Plumbing) that has high pressure fittings, and match it up to get the result you're looking for. Your LWS probably has those fittings, too.

I assume those are both 45* flare fittings? Just a street ell for the argon hose? (Too lazy to look it up whith so many posts to read through...)

@bandaidmd,
Sorry, I think I gave you the wrong number, I think it's an AW- 407 that you're looking for. I looked at an old receipt I had and I think the other number I posted was for a 9/16-11 x 5/8-11 adapter. When I was younger I would have remembered those numbers, but age is reaking havoc on my retention. Again, sorry for any confusion.
