OVERVIEW

Precision Brass Adaptor for Industrial Gas Systems

The Threaded Hex Adaptor (SKU: WHA-875-E20) is a critical component for professionals maintaining or assembling gas distribution systems. Manufactured to the highest standards, this adaptor is designed to facilitate secure connections between various components of a welding manifold, regulator setup, or piping infrastructure. In the world of industrial gases, the integrity of every connection is paramount; a single leak can lead to efficiency losses, safety hazards, and inaccurate process results. This adaptor addresses those concerns with precision-machined threads that engage smoothly and seat firmly.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the WHA-875-E20 offers excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, a necessary feature when dealing with various atmospheric conditions and industrial environments. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen and inert gas service due to its non-sparking properties and durability. The "Hex" designation refers to the hexagonal body section located between the threaded ends. This design feature is essential for the technician, providing a solid gripping surface for an adjustable or open-ended wrench. Unlike round-body fittings that require pipe wrenches and can be easily marred, the hex shape allows for precise torque application without damaging the fitting.

Whether you are stepping up pipe sizes, connecting a regulator to a manifold, or adapting a hose connection, this threaded hex adaptor provides the reliability required for high-pressure gas service. It is compatible with standard industrial gas equipment and is engineered to withstand the pressures typically found in oxygen, argon, nitrogen, and CO2 systems. Ensure your gas delivery system operates at peak performance with fittings that prioritize safety and longevity.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Leak Prevention: Tight tolerances on threading reduce the risk of gas leaks.
  • Durability: Solid brass withstands mechanical stress and environmental wear.
  • Ease of Installation: Hexagonal body simplifies tightening in tight spaces.

FAQ

This adaptor is manufactured from high-quality brass, which offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance for gas applications.

Yes, brass is the standard material for oxygen fittings as it is non-sparking and compatible with oxidizers, provided it is kept free of oil and grease.

It depends on the thread type. If the threads are NPT (tapered), PTFE tape approved for gas is recommended. If they are compression or seating threads (like CGA), tape should not be used.

The hexagonal body is designed to be tightened with a standard open-end wrench or an adjustable wrench.

Yes, this brass adaptor is designed to withstand standard industrial gas cylinder and manifold pressures.

The hex shape allows for a secure grip with a wrench, enabling precise tightening without damaging the fitting, unlike round knurled fittings.

Brass is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for environments where moisture may be present, though it may tarnish over time.

While brass is suitable for water, this specific part is engineered for gas service tolerances. It can physically carry water, but it is best reserved for its intended gas application.
