Albee Rental FREE Gas Cylinders

The ALbee™ Cylinder Exchange Programme

Getting your welding gas refills is incredibly simple with our nationwide exchange system:

1. Purchase your chosen ALbee™ small cylinder directly online or in-store from Engweld.
2. Use the gas with absolute peace of mind, there are no ongoing rental bills, no lease agreements, and no hidden transaction charges.
3. Exchange your empty bottle by returning it to any Engweld branch or approved UK ALbee™ reseller. You simply pay for the replacement gas refill cylinder. It's that easy.

Zero Maintenance, Maximum Safety: Every ALbee™ cylinder features a fully integrated MiniTOP regulator guard. Every time you exchange an empty cylinder, Air Liquide thoroughly checks, services, and replaces any worn parts on the MiniTOP system. You receive a fully refreshed, inspected, and safe cylinder every single time.

What is ALbee™ Plus?

Need a higher gas capacity but still want to stay fully mobile? ALbee™ Plus is engineered specifically for users requiring larger gas volumes without losing the advantages of portability. An ALbee™ Plus cylinder delivers the equivalent gas content of a traditional 20L cylinder at 200 bar, dramatically reducing your downtime and boosting workshop productivity.

How to Use Your ALbee™ Rent-Free Gas Cylinder

Because ALbee™ cylinders feature a built-in, pre-serviced MiniTOP regulator, setting up your gas supply takes seconds:

1. Connect your gas hose: Secure one end of your welding gas hose directly to the integrated MiniTOP regulator outlet using the provided quick-connector.
2. Link to your machine: Attach the other end of the hose to the gas inlet on the back of your MIG welder or TIG welder.
3. Open the cylinder flow: Turn the integrated flow adjustor dial to your required output specification, then flip the easy on/off lever to the "On" position to allow the gas to flow.
4. Begin welding: Power up your welding machine and test your gas flow coverage before beginning your fabrication work.
