0951-0002 - Victor Brass Adaptor 1/4" NPT Male to 3/8" A-Size Oxygen

Victor 0951-0002 Hose Connection: Precision Gas Adaptation

The Victor 0951-0002 Hose Connection is a specialized brass adaptor designed to facilitate the integration of standard piping components with A-size oxygen welding hoses. Engineered by Victor Technologies, a globally recognized leader in gas control equipment, this fitting provides a reliable and secure interface between 1/4-inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) ports and 3/8-inch A-size oxygen connections. The unit is manufactured from high-quality solid brass, ensuring superior resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and mechanical stress, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of high-pressure oxygen systems in industrial environments.

In the realm of industrial gas distribution, the accuracy of thread engagement is paramount to preventing leaks and ensuring operational safety. This adaptor features a 1/4" NPT Male thread on the input side, making it suitable for installation into gas manifolds, regulator bodies, or rigid piping systems. The opposing end is machined with a 3/8"-24 UNF thread, corresponding to the CGA "A" size standard for oxygen service. This specific configuration allows for the direct attachment of smaller, light-duty oxygen hoses typically found in precision welding, jewelry manufacturing, and brazing applications. The right-hand thread orientation strictly adheres to industry safety standards for oxygen service, effectively preventing accidental cross-connection with fuel gas lines which typically utilize left-hand threads.

The component is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a gas-tight seal when properly torqued and sealed. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, including vibration, pressure fluctuations, and thermal cycling. Whether utilized in a custom manifold assembly, a regulator modification, or a specialized machine setup, the Victor 0951-0002 ensures consistent flow characteristics and operational safety. It is an essential component for MRO professionals, gas system fabricators, and welding technicians requiring dependable conversion fittings that meet strict performance criteria.
