    Default European Style Argon Bottle

    Noticed this Argon bottle at my friends house also, it had a protective cap and built in regulator with a male quick coupler already installed .Hose from his Metabo mig plugged right into the bottle.

    Does the shroud thread onto the cylinder cap threads? I'm trying to figure out that flattened up shape on top, thought maybe a lifting handle but probably not if the shroud is plastic.

    I was thinking the regulator and the shroud belong to the customer, and that they fill and ship bottles as you'd expect but that the user / owner attaches that... thing... when he gets it to his shop. But when I look at the photo, that barbed nipple sticks out a little, and it looks like in a bad enough roll-over accident the nipple could be bent, and isn't that what the shroud is trying to prevent?! So I don't think I'm getting it.

    I don't think that shroud is user installed, it looks like the valve handle would get in the way of unscrewing. If that is a carrying handle on top, it sure looks handy.

    I wonder how the guy gets it filled over here.

    It appears to be a two piece bolt together shroud similar to the ones used for oxygen tanks in the medical industry.
