OVERVIEW

Technical Overview of the ESAB 501F13 Single Hose

The ESAB 501F13 is a specialized single-line welding hose designed for specific oxy-fuel applications requiring compact fittings and high flexibility. This hose features a 3/16-inch inner diameter (ID), which is optimized for light-to-medium duty gas flow, ensuring stable flame characteristics without the bulk of larger industrial hoses. The hose measures 25 feet in length, providing ample working distance from the gas cylinder or regulator to the workstation.

A defining characteristic of this assembly is its termination with "A-Size" fittings (3/8"-24 UNF threads) on both ends. Unlike standard "B-Size" fittings found on heavy-duty equipment, A-Size fittings are typically utilized on precision torches, such as those used in aircraft maintenance, jewelry manufacturing, and light HVAC brazing. The fittings are factory-crimped with heavy-duty ferrules to ensure pressure retention and safety compliance.

The hose is constructed with a durable rubber compound, designated by the "S-R" (Single Red) code, indicating its suitability for Acetylene and other fuel gases (excluding LPG/Propane if strictly Grade R, though often compatible with standard fuel gases in light duty). The red coloration adheres to industry safety standards for fuel gas identification, preventing cross-connection with oxygen lines. Its construction offers resistance to kinking and abrasion, maintaining integrity in shop environments.

FAQ

A-Size fittings use a 3/8"-24 thread and are typically found on light-duty, precision torches. B-Size fittings use a 9/16"-18 thread and are the standard for most industrial welding equipment.

No. This is a red hose designed for fuel gases (like Acetylene). Oxygen hoses are green and have right-hand threads, while fuel hoses are red and typically have left-hand threads (though A-size threads differ slightly in convention, color coding is critical for safety).

No, this is a single hose (SGL). It carries only one gas. You would need a separate green single hose for your oxygen supply if running a torch.

3/16 inch refers to the Inner Diameter (ID) of the hose. This size is standard for light-to-medium duty applications, offering good flow without the weight of a 1/4 inch or larger hose.

Based on the 'S-R' designation and standard industry coding for red hoses, this is likely a Grade R hose, suitable for Acetylene. It is generally not recommended for Propane or Propylene unless specified as Grade T.

Likely not directly. Most standard Victor Journeyman torches use B-Size fittings. This hose has A-Size fittings. You would need adapters or a different hose.

Measure the diameter of the threads on your torch or regulator. A-Size fittings are approximately 3/8 inch wide, whereas B-Size are just over 1/2 inch wide.

Yes, it comes with A-Size fittings crimped on both ends, ready for immediate use.
