19X76 - ESAB B-Size Inert Gas Male to Female Adapter Spud

Secure Connections for Precision Welding

In the world of industrial welding, the integrity of your gas delivery system is paramount. The ESAB 19X76 Adapter Spud is a critical component designed to ensure that your shielding gas reaches the weld pool without leaks or contamination. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this adapter is built to withstand the rigors of daily shop use while resisting corrosion and wear. Whether you are setting up a new MIG welder or maintaining a TIG torch assembly, reliable fittings like this are essential for consistent results.

Standardized Compatibility

This adapter features standard B-Size (5/8"-18) threads, which are the industry norm for inert gas connections in North America. The configuration is Male to Female, making it an excellent choice for extending existing connections, adapting regulator outlets, or acting as a sacrificial saver to protect expensive equipment threads. Because it is designed for inert gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen, it utilizes right-hand threads to prevent accidental cross-connection with fuel gas lines, enhancing shop safety.

Leak-Free Performance

Gas leaks not only waste expensive consumables but can also lead to porosity and defects in your welds. The precision machining of the ESAB 19X76 ensures a tight, metal-to-metal or seated seal depending on your specific mating parts. By maintaining a secure connection, you ensure that your flow rates remain constant and your shielding gas coverage is adequate, which is vital for achieving high-quality welds on materials like aluminum and stainless steel.

Application Versatility

While small in size, this spud is versatile in application. It is commonly used in manifold systems, regulator assemblies, and hose extensions. Its robust brass construction means it can handle the pressures typically associated with welding gas distribution (up to 200 PSI for standard hoses, though always check specific system ratings). Trust in ESAB's legacy of quality to provide the fittings you need to keep your operation running smoothly.
