2064114 - ESAB Stainless Steel Push-On Hose Nipple 3/16 ID

Premium Stainless Steel Connection for Industrial Systems

The ESAB 2064114 is a high-performance hose nipple designed to facilitate secure and reliable fluid transfer in industrial welding environments. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (SST), this fitting is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily operation while resisting the corrosive effects of coolants, moisture, and atmospheric oxidation. Unlike standard brass or plated steel fittings, stainless steel provides a non-reactive surface that maintains its structural integrity over prolonged periods, ensuring that flow paths remain unobstructed by rust or mineral buildup.

This specific nipple is machined to interface with 3/16-inch Inner Diameter (ID) hoses, a standard size often utilized in TIG torch water-cooling lines, MIG gun conduits, and shielding gas delivery systems. The "Push" designation in the product specification typically refers to a barb profile optimized for push-on or push-lock style hoses, which grip the fitting tightly under pressure. The precision machining ensures that the barb bites effectively into the hose liner, creating a seal that resists leaking even under the fluctuating pressures common in pumped water cooling units.

In the context of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), utilizing stainless steel fittings like the ESAB 2064114 is a proactive measure against system failure. Leaks in water-cooled welding systems can lead to catastrophic torch failure or contamination of the weld pool. By standardizing on stainless steel components, facilities managers and technicians can reduce the frequency of maintenance intervals related to fitting corrosion. This component is an essential spare part for maintaining ESAB welding equipment and can also serve as a universal upgrade for any 3/16-inch fluid line requiring a robust, corrosion-resistant termination point.

Whether used for inert gas distribution or liquid coolant circulation, the material properties of this SST nipple ensure compatibility with a wide range of fluids. Its robust construction prevents deformation during installation, a common issue with softer metals, ensuring that the flow characteristics of the line remain consistent. For industrial setups requiring durability and reliability, this ESAB fitting is the professional choice.
