OVERVIEW

Reliable Connections for Your Welding Equipment

When it comes to maintaining the integrity of your welding setup, every component plays a vital role. The ESAB 12K17 Connection Nut is a high-quality replacement part designed to ensure your gas or water lines remain securely fastened. Manufactured from durable brass, this nut is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, resisting corrosion and wear over time. Whether you are repairing a TIG torch assembly, a MIG gun cable, or a regulator connection, using the correct fitting is essential for safety and performance.

This specific nut features a 5/8"-18 Female thread, a common standard in the welding industry for inert gas and water connections. The precision machining ensures smooth threading onto matching male fittings, reducing the risk of cross-threading or seizing. With an inner diameter (ID) of 0.513 inches, it is sized to accommodate specific nipples and liners, providing a snug fit that helps prevent leaks. Leaks in a shielding gas line can lead to porosity in welds and wasted gas, making a secure connection paramount for quality fabrication.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. That is why we stock essential repair parts like the ESAB 12K17 to get you back up and running quickly. This nut is easy to install with standard wrenches and provides the mechanical strength needed to hold hoses firmly in place under pressure. It is an ideal spare part to keep in your maintenance kit, ensuring you are always prepared for unexpected repairs.
