DIXO2BARB1/4 - 1/4 Inch Oxygen Hose Barb Repair Fitting

High-Quality Brass Oxygen Hose Barb

The Dixon 1/4" Oxygen Hose Barb Nipple is a critical component for the maintenance and fabrication of oxy-fuel welding hoses. Manufactured from high-grade brass, this fitting offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life in demanding industrial environments. The nipple is precision-machined to strict tolerances, providing a consistent 1/4-inch barb profile that integrates seamlessly with standard 1/4-inch inner diameter (ID) oxygen hoses.

Designed for safety and reliability, this hose barb is cleaned for oxygen service, removing residual oils and contaminants that could pose a combustion risk in high-pressure oxygen systems. The barbed design features sharp, well-defined ridges that bite into the hose liner, creating a positive seal that resists pull-out when used with appropriate crimp ferrules or hose clamps. This ensures a leak-free connection, which is paramount for maintaining system pressure and operator safety during welding and cutting operations.

This fitting is compatible with standard welding hose nuts and ferrules, making it a versatile choice for repair shops and MRO departments. Whether replacing a damaged section of hose or assembling a new custom-length line, this barb nipple provides the structural integrity required for compressed gas applications. Users should verify the mating nut size and hose ID before assembly to ensure compliance with CGA standards and proper system performance.
