0560948525 - ESAB G 1/4" Male to B-Size Oxygen Male Brass Adapter

Engineered for Global Compatibility

The ESAB 0560948525 Adapter is a specialized gas fitting designed to facilitate seamless connections between equipment with differing international thread standards. In the industrial gas and welding sector, equipment specifications often vary by region, creating compatibility challenges for maintenance and operations teams. This precision-engineered adapter resolves such issues by converting a G 1/4-inch Male thread—a standard parallel pipe thread (BSP) commonly found on European-manufactured pressure regulators, flowmeters, and machine gas inlets—to a standard B-Size Oxygen Male fitting.

The B-Size fitting features a 9/16"-18 Right-Hand thread, which is the prevailing standard for oxygen and inert gas hoses in North America. By utilizing this adapter, facilities can standardize their hose inventory while continuing to operate specialized or imported equipment. Manufactured from high-grade brass, the component offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, essential qualities for maintaining the integrity of gas delivery systems over long service lives. The precision machining ensures a secure, leak-tight connection, minimizing gas loss and maintaining accurate pressure delivery.

Installation of the ESAB adapter is straightforward but requires attention to sealing surfaces. The G 1/4-inch side typically interfaces with a flat port face and may require a bonded seal or dowty washer to ensure a pressure-tight fit, while the B-Size side utilizes a standard mechanical seating surface compatible with standard hose nuts. This component is suitable for use with Oxygen, Argon, Helium, and other inert gases that utilize Right-Hand thread connections, provided that pressure ratings and material compatibility are verified for the specific application.

Safety in gas distribution is non-negotiable. Relying on makeshift connections or forcing mismatched threads can lead to dangerous leaks and equipment failure. The ESAB 0560948525 provides a certified, engineered solution that maintains the safety rating of your system. Whether you are configuring a central manifold system, setting up a new TIG welding station, or performing maintenance on existing regulators, this adapter ensures that your gas supply lines are connected correctly, safely, and professionally.
