WESAW-430 - Western Enterprises AW-430 Inert Gas Hose Coupler B-Size Female

High-Quality Brass Connection for Inert Gas Systems

The Western Enterprises AW-430 Inert Arc Hose Coupler is a precision-engineered component designed to facilitate the seamless connection of inert gas hoses in industrial, welding, and laboratory settings. Manufactured from high-grade brass, this coupler offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding environments. The unit features a B-Size 5/8"-18 UNF Right Hand (RH) Female thread on both ends, making it the standard solution for joining two male-ended hoses together or adapting specific gas equipment configurations.

Reliability is paramount when dealing with pressurized gases. The AW-430 is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 PSIG, providing a robust safety margin for standard shielding gas applications involving Argon, Helium, or Nitrogen mixtures. The coupler is designed with a 3/4" hex body, allowing technicians to easily secure the connection using standard wrenches, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal that maintains system integrity. Whether you are setting up a complex gas manifold system or simply need to extend the reach of a supply line, this coupler delivers consistent performance.

As a product of Western Enterprises, a leader in gas control products, the AW-430 adheres to strict manufacturing tolerances. It complies with CGA-032 standards for inert gas connections. The use of brass not only provides mechanical strength but also ensures compatibility with a wide range of inert gases without the risk of chemical reaction or contamination. This component is an essential inventory item for facility maintenance, MRO operations, and specialized gas distribution setups.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools beyond a standard wrench. The clearly defined threads prevent cross-threading, protecting your hoses and equipment from damage. By utilizing the AW-430, operators can maintain flexible and adaptable workspace layouts, overcoming the limitations of fixed hose lengths without compromising on safety or flow efficiency.
