QCRHX - Western Enterprises QC-RHX Oxygen Quick Connect Set with Check Valve

Reliable Oxygen Connection with Integrated Safety

The Western Enterprises QC-RHX Quick Connect with Check Valve is an essential accessory for professional oxy-fuel operators who demand both efficiency and safety. Designed to facilitate the rapid connection and disconnection of torches from hoses, this high-quality brass fitting eliminates the need for wrenches during equipment setup and breakdown. It is specifically engineered for Oxygen service, featuring standard B-Size 9/16"-18 Right-Hand threads that are compatible with the vast majority of welding and cutting torches on the market, including the popular Protogo portable systems.

Enhanced Safety Features

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel applications, and the QC-RHX addresses this with built-in reverse flow check valves. These valves automatically prevent the dangerous backflow of gases, which is a primary cause of mixed-gas accidents and potential flashbacks. While a check valve is not a substitute for a flashback arrestor, it provides a critical first line of defense against reverse flow conditions. Additionally, the quick connect mechanism features an automatic shut-off function; when the plug is removed from the socket, gas flow is instantly stopped, preventing leaks and wastage.

Durable Construction and Ease of Use

Manufactured by Western Enterprises, a leader in gas control products, this quick connect set is machined from solid brass, ensuring excellent durability and resistance to corrosion in harsh industrial environments. The "snap-on, snap-off" action allows welders to switch between different torch handles—such as changing from a cutting attachment to a heating tip—in mere seconds. The components are color-coded green to adhere to industry standards for oxygen equipment, minimizing the risk of cross-connection with fuel gas lines. Whether you are maintaining a large shop or using a portable Protogo kit in the field, the QC-RHX streamlines your workflow while enhancing operational safety.
