38660001 - American Weldquip Female Quick Disconnect Fitting

Precision Fluid Connection for Industrial Welding

The American Weldquip Female Quick Disconnect (38660001) is an essential component designed to maintain the integrity and efficiency of liquid-cooled and gas-shielded MIG welding systems. In high-amperage industrial applications, the reliability of utility lines—specifically water cooling and shielding gas hoses—is paramount to preventing equipment overheating and ensuring weld quality. This precision-engineered fitting provides a secure, leak-proof interface between the power source, water cooler, and the welding gun cable assembly.

Manufactured to American Weldquip's stringent standards, this female disconnect features a robust locking mechanism that engages firmly with its male counterpart. The internal valving and seal design are optimized to prevent fluid loss during disconnection, which is critical for maintaining a clean and safe shop floor environment. By utilizing a quick-disconnect system, operators and maintenance personnel can rapidly swap out torches or perform routine service without the need for wrenches or thread sealants, significantly reducing downtime in automated and semi-automated production environments.

The fitting is constructed from high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life even under the harsh conditions typical of heavy fabrication. Whether used for coolant supply or return lines, the 38660001 ensures consistent flow rates and pressure, contributing to the overall thermal stability of the welding process. Integrating this component into your welding setup represents a commitment to operational excellence and equipment longevity.
