Can we use these?

Looks like it's only designed for 15 PSI. You'll want something higher than that. I think most CO2 regs go to 100.

That's 15 L/min. It's for regulating flow rate, not output pressure.

Exactly. That gauge is not what you want.

Exactly. That gauge is not what you want.

OP, note JadeMonkey said "gauge". You can still buy the reg, just swap out the flow gauge with a low pressure gauge...they can be found for like 5-10 bucks.

I'm going to assume OP doesn't intend to hook Argon up to the kegs, so I'll add "That regulator won't connect to a CO2 tank..."

And you can score a real CO2 regulator for $37.50 if you watch CL

Except that the regulator he linked is listed as a Argon (/ inferred) CO2 reg.....

That's exactly what it is - An Argon/CO2 sheild gas regulator for welding. It won't attach to a CO2 tank.
Argon/CO2 is a common shielding gas. It's sold mixed, and in a tank with a female flare valve.

At a minimum, the linked valve will require a new tank fitting. Adding cost and labor - Just buy a Brand new, unused, shiny regulator from CHI Company, for the same $$!

Or you can get a used one for $22.00 FTW

Ahhh. Gotcha'.

However, IIRC, there are some here that do use Argon/CO2 Blends in lieu of Nitro/CO2 blends. I hear it's all the Yuri Rage.

Well, Yuri Rage is just a different animal He has the ability to take the most over-engineered thing/process, and re-engineer the holy crap out of it - Making it bigger, better, faster, and 14 times more expensive!
It makes me sick!
And jealous :rockin:
