How big is a Milwaukee regulator?

[Tiffi]

Can somebody please measure their regulator for me? How much height does it add to the CO2 cylinder?

I have found a 10lb cylinder to buy from my local welding shop for $50. It is about 21" high. How much height will the Milwaukee MA957 add? I only have about 25.5 inches under my stand.

When you add the regulator, it's only going to raise your total height by about 1".

Yuhuuh! So I can get the 10lb tank for 50$ !
Thank you very much, Xzap!

well it's more than an inch, but not by much. well under 5" though, so yes you have tons of clearance.

I measured mine from the top of the cylinder off/on valve vs the top of the regulator and got about 1".

so we're gonna split hairs?

cylinder's can have different height valves. how you have your regulator situated (perfectly level, or angled) will affect height.

long story short, IT WILL FIT FINE.

I try to be too accurate sometimes Malkore. I think it comes from trying to learn chemicals/weights/dosing routines/# of drops to use/etc. etc. etc

Thank you both very, very much! Like malkore said, it will fit and that's important .

@Xzap: Thank you for your efforts though !
