OVERVIEW

Reliable Connections for Your Gas Equipment

When working with oxy-fuel systems, safety and compatibility are paramount. The ESAB Connector G1 4Lh G3 8Lh is an essential accessory for professional welders and fabricators who need to adapt their equipment configurations securely. Designed to bridge the gap between different thread standards, this connector allows you to link components with G 1/4" Left Hand threads to those with G 3/8" Left Hand threads seamlessly.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this adapter is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Brass is the material of choice for gas fittings due to its excellent durability, resistance to corrosion, and non-sparking properties, which are critical when handling fuel gases like acetylene or propane. The precision machining ensures that threads engage smoothly and provide a tight, leak-proof seal, giving you peace of mind during operation.

The "LH" designation stands for Left Hand, a standard safety feature in the welding industry used exclusively for fuel gases. This reverse-thread design physically prevents the accidental connection of fuel gas lines to oxygen equipment, thereby eliminating a major safety hazard. Whether you are setting up a new torch, replacing a hose, or configuring a regulator, having the right adapter in your toolkit ensures that you can get the job done efficiently and safely.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. That's why we stock reliable components like this ESAB connector to keep your operations running smoothly. Ensure your gas delivery system is versatile and secure with this robust brass adapter.

FAQ

'LH' stands for Left Hand. This indicates that the threads are reverse-threaded, which is the standard safety convention for fuel gas connections to prevent accidental connection to oxygen lines.

No, this connector is designed for fuel gases only. Oxygen equipment uses Right Hand (RH) threads, so this adapter will not fit.

The connector is made of high-quality brass, which offers durability and corrosion resistance suitable for gas welding applications.

One side is G 1/4" and the other is G 3/8". Both sides feature Left Hand threads.

Typically, gas welding fittings rely on machined sealing surfaces or specific washers. Consult the specific equipment manual, but generally, tape is not recommended for these types of brass gas fittings unless specified.

Yes, as long as the equipment uses the matching G-style Left Hand threads, it is compatible with fuel gases including propane and acetylene.

You will need a standard wrench or an adjustable wrench to tighten the fitting securely. Do not overtighten.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB product, ensuring high quality and compatibility.
