950614 - ESAB Gas Hose Quick Connect Socket

Efficient Gas Management with ESAB Quick Connects

The ESAB 950614 Socket Quick Connect is an essential accessory for professional welding environments where efficiency and reliability are paramount. Designed to facilitate the rapid connection and disconnection of shielding gas hoses and water cooling lines, this component eliminates the need for wrenches and threaded fittings during routine equipment changes. By integrating this quick connect socket into your workflow, you can significantly reduce downtime associated with swapping out torches, regulators, or machines, allowing for a more streamlined and productive operation.

Manufactured from high-quality brass, the ESAB 950614 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and its durability in harsh shop environments. The precision machining ensures a tight, leak-proof seal every time the coupling is engaged. Preventing gas leaks is critical not only for safety but also for maintaining weld quality; even a minor leak can introduce atmospheric contamination into the weld pool, leading to porosity and defects. This socket provides the peace of mind that your shielding gas delivery system is secure.

This socket is typically the female component of a quick-connect set, featuring a spring-loaded sleeve that locks the mating plug securely in place. The design often includes an internal shut-off valve that stops the flow of gas or water immediately upon disconnection, preventing waste and hazardous spills. Whether you are setting up a complex automated cell or simply need versatility in a manual welding booth, the ESAB Socket Quick Connect delivers the performance and ease of use that professionals demand. It is compatible with a wide range of standard welding hoses and equipment, making it a versatile addition to any maintenance, repair, or fabrication inventory.

Investing in quality fittings like the ESAB 950614 ensures long-term reliability. Cheap connectors can wear out quickly, leading to frustrating leaks and difficult connections. ESAB’s commitment to quality ensures that this socket will operate smoothly for years, maintaining its positive locking action and sealing integrity through countless connection cycles.
