950556 - 1/8 Inch to 1/4 Inch NPT Brass Hex Adapter

Reliable Gas Connections with ESAB Brass Adapters

In the world of industrial welding and gas distribution, the integrity of your connections is paramount. The ESAB 950556 1/8 - 1/4 NPT Hex Adapter is a critical component designed to ensure seamless transitions between different pipe sizes in your setup. Manufactured to ESAB's high standards, this adapter is crafted from premium brass, a material chosen for its excellent durability, resistance to corrosion, and suitability for use with a wide variety of welding gases, including oxygen, acetylene, argon, and CO2 mixtures.

Whether you are assembling a custom gas manifold, repairing a regulator, or modifying a flowmeter setup, having the right adapter is essential. This specific unit converts between 1/8-inch NPT and 1/4-inch NPT threads, two of the most common sizes found in compressed gas equipment. The precision machining of the threads ensures a tight, secure fit that minimizes the risk of leaks—a crucial safety factor when handling pressurized gases.

The adapter features a hexagonal body design, which is a significant practical advantage during installation. Unlike round fittings that require pipe wrenches and can be easily marred, the hex shape allows you to use a standard adjustable wrench or open-end wrench. This ensures you can apply the correct amount of torque to seat the threads firmly without stripping them or damaging the fitting's exterior. This ease of handling makes it a favorite among maintenance technicians and welders who need to make quick, reliable adjustments to their equipment.

At Josef Gas, we understand that small parts play a big role in your operational efficiency. This ESAB adapter is stocked to help you maintain your equipment with OEM-quality components. It is robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring that your gas delivery systems remain safe and operational. Always ensure to use an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or gas-rated paste, when installing NPT fittings to guarantee a bubble-tight seal.
