FAQ
This valve is designed for Inert Gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen. It is not suitable for fuel gases like Acetylene.
The connections are standard 5/8"-18 RH (Right Hand) threads, which is the industry standard for inert gas fittings.
Yes, the WES411 features independent precision shut-off valves for each outlet, allowing you to control flow to each hose separately.
No, this is a flow splitter and valve assembly. It does not regulate pressure; it must be connected to a regulator or a regulated supply line.
No. While the threads might be similar to some oxygen fittings (CGA 022), this product is specifically specified and labeled for Inert Gas service to ensure safety and prevent contamination.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common uses—splitting your argon tank to feed both your TIG torch and a back-purge hose simultaneously.
The body and valve components are machined from high-quality brass for durability and corrosion resistance.
Generally, these brass fittings seal via a metal-to-metal seat or a specific sealing surface. Teflon tape is usually not recommended for the swivel connection to the regulator, but check your specific equipment manual.
