678152 - ESAB 2.5ft Rubber Inert Gas Hose Assembly

Reliable Inert Gas Delivery with ESAB

The ESAB 678152 Hose Assembly is a premium-grade gas delivery solution designed for professional welders who demand reliability and safety in their equipment setup. This 2.5-foot hose assembly is specifically engineered for the transfer of inert gases, such as Argon, Helium, and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) mixtures, commonly used in MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding processes. Unlike standard vinyl hoses that can become stiff and brittle over time, this assembly features a robust rubber construction that maintains flexibility even in varying temperature conditions, ensuring a consistent gas flow without the risk of kinking or cracking.

One of the standout features of this hose is its length. At 2.5 feet, it serves as the perfect "jumper" hose. It is ideal for connecting a flowmeter or regulator mounted on a cylinder directly to the welding machine's gas inlet when the cylinder is situated on the machine cart. This short length prevents the clutter and safety hazards associated with coiling up excess hose, keeping your workspace tidy and professional. The hose comes pre-assembled with standard B-size fittings (5/8"-18), which are the industry standard for inert gas connections in North America, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of regulators and power sources.

Safety and durability are paramount in welding environments. The factory-crimped ferrules on the ESAB 678152 provide a secure, leak-proof seal that you can trust. Leaking shielding gas not only wastes expensive consumables but can also lead to porosity in your welds, compromising structural integrity. By choosing a genuine ESAB hose assembly, you are investing in a component that meets rigorous quality standards. Whether you are setting up a new welding station or replacing an old, worn-out line, this rubber gas hose offers the performance and longevity required for industrial applications.

Key Benefits
