OVERVIEW

Precision Brass Adaptor for Industrial Connections

The ESAB 17544 Adaptor is a high-quality industrial fitting designed to bridge the gap between 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch threaded connections. Manufactured from solid brass, this component is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, offering superior resistance to corrosion, rust, and mechanical stress compared to standard steel or plastic fittings. Whether you are configuring a gas distribution manifold, adapting a regulator, or setting up pneumatic tools, this adaptor ensures a secure and professional installation.

In fluid and gas transfer systems, the integrity of every connection is paramount. This adaptor features precision-machined threads that engage smoothly and bite firmly, minimizing the risk of cross-threading and ensuring a tight seal when used with appropriate thread sealants. The hexagonal body provides ample surface area for wrenches, allowing for easy tightening without stripping the flats. It is an essential component for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventories, ensuring that incompatible thread sizes do not halt production or repair workflows.

This fitting is versatile enough for a wide range of media, including inert gases, compressed air, and water, making it a staple in welding shops, automotive garages, and manufacturing facilities. Its compact design allows it to fit into tight spaces where larger unions might not work. By utilizing high-grade brass, ESAB ensures that this part maintains its structural integrity even under fluctuating pressures and temperatures common in welding environments.

FAQ

This adaptor is made from solid brass, providing excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

It adapts a 3/8-inch connection to a 1/4-inch connection.

Yes, brass fittings are standard for inert welding gases like Argon, CO2, and Helium, provided the pressure rating is suitable for the application.

Yes, for tapered pipe threads (NPT), it is recommended to use PTFE tape or a suitable thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof seal.

It can function as either, depending on the direction of flow and the gender of the threads it is connecting.

Brass is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it superior to plain steel for applications involving moisture or gases.

Yes, as an ESAB product, it is designed to meet the specifications for ESAB gas equipment but is also compatible with standard industry fittings of the same size.

You will typically need two wrenches: one to hold the existing fitting or pipe and one to tighten the adaptor.
