I setup a back-purge on my buddies welder when we were building a turbo manifold that was very crucial. I looked at a lot of thread and ended up using 2 regulator and a t-fitting like this one. It allowed us to completely flood the part without affecting out regular flow rate on the tig torch. We would crank it up and then depending on the amount of un-welded areas turn it down to anywhere from 5-15. Remember, argon is heavier and will settle and push air out. You don't want a large amount of flow past where your welding so as to suck air in through a vortex like affect. Tape works in a pinch if your welding far enough from it that the heat won't turn it into goo. We used stainless sheet metal and tacked it on both ends and one had a hole for the hose. We used 3/8 id fuel line from the auto parts store. Handled the heat good and is cheap. Practice on something first. I spent a week learning how to do this, but we were also working with thicker metal and penatration was hard to get without overheating it.
Weldingweb is a great place for welding info. Here is a link to a
back-purge topic.
Here is a picture of the almost finished manifold.
Good luck on the project and again.....practice first, lol.
