6979 - B-Size Acetylene Hose Coupler - Male to Male Brass Adapter

Precision Brass Coupling for Fuel Gas Systems

The ESB6979 B-Size Acetylene Male to Male Adapter is a critical component for industrial gas management, designed to facilitate the connection of two B-size female fittings. Manufactured from high-grade brass, this coupler ensures a leak-tight seal and superior durability in harsh welding environments. The fitting features standard 5/8"-18 UNF threads with a Left-Hand (LH) orientation, indicated by the notched nut, which is the industry standard safety feature to prevent cross-connection with oxygen lines.

This adapter is primarily used as a hose splicer or extender. By connecting two standard acetylene hoses (which typically terminate in female B-size nuts) to either side of this male-male coupler, operators can effectively double their reach without compromising flow characteristics or safety. The precision machining of the threads ensures smooth engagement and disengagement, reducing wear on hose nuts and preventing galling.

Suitable for use with Acetylene, Propane, MAPP, and other fuel gases utilizing B-size connections, this fitting is rated for the pressures typically encountered in oxy-fuel cutting and welding operations. It is an essential inventory item for maintenance departments, welding shops, and field service trucks where hose length flexibility is required.
