0950-0137 - Victor 1/4" NPT Male to B-Size Inert Gas Hose Connector

Victor 0950-0137 Hose Connector Overview

The Victor 0950-0137 Hose Connector is a specialized brass fitting designed to facilitate secure connections in industrial gas systems. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas control equipment, this connector serves as a critical interface between hard-piped components and flexible gas hoses. It features a 1/4-inch National Pipe Thread Male (NPTM) on one end and a standard CGA "B" size Inert Gas connection on the other. This configuration is essential for adapting regulators, flowmeters, or manifold outlets to standard inert gas hoses used in welding and fabrication environments.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its excellent machinability, which allows for precise thread formation, and its natural resistance to corrosion. A precise fit is paramount when dealing with shielding gases like Argon, Helium, or Nitrogen, as even minor leaks can lead to porosity in welds and wasted consumables. The 0950-0137 ensures a tight, leak-proof seal when properly installed, contributing to the overall efficiency and quality of your gas delivery system.

This connector utilizes a Right-Hand thread orientation, which is the industry standard for inert gases and oxygen, distinguishing it from fuel gas fittings. It is compatible with a wide range of Victor regulators and other equipment requiring a conversion from 1/4" NPT ports to "B" size hose fittings. Whether you are setting up a new TIG welding station or maintaining an existing gas distribution manifold, the Victor 0950-0137 provides the reliability and performance professionals demand.
