7294-1 - Smith Equipment 7294-1 6ft Inert Gas Hose 1/4-inch ID 5/8-18 RH

Reliable Inert Gas Delivery with Smith Equipment

The Smith Equipment 7294-1 Inert Gas Hose is a premium replacement component designed to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of shielding gases in welding applications. Manufactured to the high standards associated with the Smith Equipment brand, this hose is an essential accessory for welders using MIG (GMAW) or TIG (GTAW) processes. A compromised gas hose can lead to porosity in welds, wasted gas, and inconsistent arc stability; replacing worn lines with this genuine Smith part restores optimal system performance.

Standardized Compatibility

This hose features a 1/4-inch inner diameter (I.D.), which is the industry standard for maintaining adequate flow rates without excessive pressure drop. It is terminated with 5/8" - 18 RH Male fittings (CGA 032 style), making it universally compatible with the majority of inert gas regulators, flowmeters, and welding machine gas inlets found in North America. Whether you are connecting a cylinder to a wire feeder or a power source, these fittings provide a secure, screw-on connection that eliminates the need for hose clamps or makeshift adapters.

Durable Construction for Shop Use

Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the hose is constructed from durable materials that resist kinking and abrasion. The black outer jacket clearly identifies it for inert gas service, preventing confusion with red acetylene or green oxygen hoses. The 6-foot length (approximately 1.8 meters) is ideal for stationary setups where the gas cylinder is located on the welding cart or directly behind the machine, preventing excess hose from becoming a tripping hazard while still allowing necessary flexibility.

Optimized for Shielding Gases

Specifically rated for inert gases, this hose is suitable for use with pure Argon, Helium, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and mixed shielding gases (such as Argon/CO2 or Argon/Oxygen blends). The crimped ferrules at each end are factory-installed to ensure a leak-tight seal, providing peace of mind that your expensive shielding gas is going exactly where it is needed—the weld pool.
