The Western Enterprises WES-123 Hose Adaptor is a critical component for professionals demanding secure and safe gas connections in industrial, welding, and laboratory environments. Precision-engineered from high-quality brass, this adaptor is designed to bridge the gap between standard pipe threads and flexible welding hoses, ensuring a leak-free seal that maintains system integrity.
Durability is paramount when dealing with pressurized gases. This adaptor is machined from solid brass, a material chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion and its non-sparking properties, which are essential for safety in oxygen-enriched environments. The robust build quality ensures that the threads remain sharp and effective even after repeated use, reducing the risk of cross-threading or mechanical failure.
Safety in welding and gas distribution relies on adhering to strict standards. This fitting features a 1/4" NPT Male thread on one end and a B-Size 9/16"-18 UNF Female Swivel on the other. Crucially, the B-Size connection utilizes Right-Hand (RH) threads, complying with CGA 022 standards for oxygen service. This design prevents accidental connection to incompatible fuel gas lines (which use Left-Hand threads), thereby preventing dangerous cross-connections.
The "Female Swivel" design is a significant advantage for installers and operators. It allows the nut to rotate independently of the adaptor body, enabling you to tighten the connection to a hose or regulator without twisting the hose itself. This reduces strain on the hose crimps and prevents kinking. Rated for up to 200 PSIG, this adaptor is suitable for a wide range of medium-pressure applications, including connecting regulators to manifolds, adapting machine outlets, or extending hose lines.
