Just regular air fittings will work.
Get barb fittings with a 1/4" npt thread, and put them together.

Argon is WAY less pressure then air.
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

HTP sells some that are just like air fittings except they are smaller. Nice and compact. Work for water cooled fittings as well.

Those quick disconnects Oscar posted are GREAT. I installed them on all my torches, they are very reasonably priced easy to install and do not leak. It was because of Oscar posting a pic of his on an earlier thread that I bought some. They solved a concern I had about missing up threads in the future changing torches.
why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.

I use the one tec welding makes because they have fittings that go direct to gas fittings no adapters required. For my water cooler I use hydraulic fittings so I don't have to purge the water out when I change torches it takes me about a minute to change torches with no wrenches.
