OVERVIEW

High-Quality Brass Connection for Industrial Gas Systems

The Western Enterprises WES19 Hose Barb Nipple is a critical component for professionals demanding reliability in their gas distribution systems. Engineered with precision, this nipple is designed to facilitate a secure connection between gas regulators, torches, and hoses. Specifically tailored for 3/16-inch Inner Diameter (I.D.) hoses, the WES19 ensures optimal flow and safety for various industrial gases.

Manufactured from high-grade brass, this fitting offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, making it an ideal choice for harsh industrial environments. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen and fuel gas fittings due to its non-sparking properties and durability. The WES19 is rated for pressures up to 200 PSIG, providing a robust safety margin for standard welding, cutting, and heating operations. Whether you are setting up a new laboratory station, maintaining jewelry manufacturing equipment, or managing a large-scale welding facility, the integrity of your connections is paramount.

This nipple is an "A-Size" fitting, compatible with CGA 020 (Oxygen) and CGA 021 (Fuel Gas) standards. A-Size fittings are typically smaller than the standard B-Size fittings found on heavy-duty equipment, making the WES19 perfect for light-duty torches and specialized applications where precision and maneuverability are key. The barb design features sharp, well-defined ridges that bite into the hose liner when crimped with a ferrule or clamped, creating a gas-tight seal that prevents leaks and potential hazards.

Proudly made in the United States, Western Enterprises products are synonymous with quality. When you choose the WES19, you are investing in a component that meets rigorous manufacturing standards. Ensure your gas delivery systems are safe, efficient, and leak-free with this essential brass hose nipple.
