0458198880 - ESAB Gas Hose Ear Clamp Replacement

Reliable Gas Line Integrity with ESAB

In the precision-demanding world of industrial welding, the integrity of your shielding gas delivery system is paramount. The ESAB Gas Nipple Hose Clamp (SKU: 0458198880) is a critical component designed to ensure that integrity is never compromised. Engineered specifically for securing gas and coolant hoses to the nipples of welding power sources, wire feeders, and torch assemblies, this clamp provides a uniform compression seal that standard worm-drive clamps often fail to achieve on small-diameter tubing.

Precision Engineering for Leak Prevention

Gas leaks in a welding setup are more than just an annoyance; they are a source of turbulence, atmospheric contamination, and ultimately, weld defects such as porosity. This ESAB hose clamp utilizes an "ear" or crimp-style design. Unlike screw-tightened clamps which can create ovalization and leak paths, this clamp contracts in a perfect circle when crimped, ensuring 360-degree contact with the hose surface. This creates a hermetic seal that effectively prevents the loss of expensive shielding gases like Argon or Helium.

Industrial Durability and Safety

Manufactured from high-grade materials, the 0458198880 clamp is built to withstand the rigors of the shop floor. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures longevity even in humid or chemically active environments. Furthermore, the low-profile nature of the crimped ear eliminates the protruding screws found on traditional clamps, significantly reducing the risk of the clamp snagging on other cables, clothing, or machinery—a vital safety consideration in dynamic welding environments where equipment is frequently moved.

OEM Compatibility

As a genuine ESAB replacement part, this clamp guarantees fitment with compatible ESAB equipment. Maintenance professionals can rely on this component to restore equipment to factory specifications without the guesswork associated with generic hardware. Whether used for routine maintenance or emergency repair, this hose clamp is an essential stock item for maintaining the operational efficiency of your welding fleet.
