OVERVIEW

Reliable Hose Connections with ESAB 03Z73

When it comes to maintaining the safety and efficiency of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment, the integrity of your gas hoses is paramount. The ESAB 03Z73 Nipple is a premium replacement component designed to facilitate secure connections between your 1/4-inch inner diameter (ID) hoses and your regulators or torch handles. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this nipple is engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, resisting corrosion and wear over time.

This specific nipple is sized for B-Size fittings, which are the industry standard for most medium to heavy-duty gas equipment (5/8"-18 thread). Whether you are repairing a damaged section of hose or fabricating a custom-length assembly for a specific workshop layout, the 03Z73 provides the precision fit necessary to prevent dangerous gas leaks. The barbed end is designed to slide into the hose securely, providing a solid foundation for a ferrule or hose clamp to grip, ensuring that the hose remains attached even under pressure.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. Having the right repair parts on hand, like the ESAB 03Z73, allows you to quickly address equipment issues and get back to work. This nipple is compatible with both oxygen and fuel gas hoses, making it a versatile addition to any welder's maintenance kit. Its robust construction ensures that it maintains its shape and sealing surface integrity, even after repeated coupling and uncoupling cycles.

Key Applications

  • Hose Repair: Quickly fix cut or worn ends of standard 1/4" welding hose.
  • Custom Assembly: Create hose lengths tailored to specific station requirements.
  • Equipment Maintenance: Replace worn or damaged nipples on existing torch setups.

Ensure your welding operations remain safe and efficient with genuine ESAB parts. The 03Z73 is a small but critical component in the gas delivery system, ensuring that your flame remains stable and your work environment safe.

FAQ

The ESAB 03Z73 is designed to fit hoses with a 1/4-inch inner diameter (ID).

No, the ESAB 03Z73 is the nipple only. The B-Size nut must be purchased separately or reused if in good condition.

A B-Size fitting is a standard connection size in the welding industry, utilizing a 5/8"-18 thread. It is commonly used for regulators, torches, and hose connections.

Yes, the nipple itself is compatible with both gases. However, you must use the correct nut (right-hand thread for oxygen, left-hand thread for fuel gas) to ensure safety and compatibility.

The nipple should be secured using a crimp-style ferrule or a suitable hose clamp to ensure a leak-proof and secure connection.

Yes, as long as the other equipment uses standard CGA B-Size connections and 1/4" ID hose, this ESAB nipple will be compatible.

It is made of solid brass, which offers durability and corrosion resistance suitable for gas welding applications.

No, 'PUSH' in the description refers to pushing the barbed stem into the hose. It is a standard barbed nipple, not a quick-connect push-lock fitting.
