58V58 - ESAB Western Style Bulkhead Adapter 5/8-18 RH Female x 1/4 NPT Male

Professional Gas Distribution Components

The ESAB 58V58 Bulkhead Adapter is a critical component for industrial gas management systems, specifically designed to facilitate the secure passage of inert gas lines through structural barriers such as machine casings, control panels, or workstation walls. Manufactured to the highest standards of precision, this fitting exemplifies the reliability required in professional MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments where gas leak prevention and system integrity are paramount.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the 58V58 offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical deformation, ensuring a long service life even in demanding workshop conditions. The adapter features a dual-thread configuration: one end presents a standard CGA 032 style connection (5/8"-18 Right-Hand Female), commonly known as "B-Size" for inert gases, while the opposing end utilizes a 1/4" National Pipe Taper (NPT) Male thread. This combination allows for the seamless integration of standard welding gas hoses with rigid piping systems or regulators situated on opposite sides of a partition.

In complex manufacturing setups, organized gas routing is essential for safety and efficiency. The bulkhead design of this adapter includes the necessary geometry to be secured against a panel, providing a rigid anchor point that prevents stress on the gas lines during operation. Whether you are retrofitting an automated welding cell, repairing a power source's internal plumbing, or designing a custom manifold system for Argon, Helium, or Nitrogen, the ESAB 58V58 delivers the dimensional accuracy and pressure rating requisite for industrial applications.

By utilizing standardized fittings like the 58V58, facility managers and technicians can ensure compatibility across a wide range of equipment brands and gas delivery systems. This component is an essential stock item for maintenance departments responsible for the upkeep of TIG and MIG welding stations, ensuring that downtime due to gas delivery issues is minimized through the use of reliable, high-quality brass fittings.
