The Miller 270436 Hose Plug is a critical component designed specifically for use with Miller Supplied Air Respirator (SAR) systems. This product serves as the primary connection point between the operator's breathing air hose and the air supply source. Engineered to meet the rigorous safety standards required for respiratory equipment, this fitting ensures a secure, leak-proof seal that is essential for maintaining positive pressure and air quality within the helmet assembly.
Constructed from high-quality brass, the 270436 plug offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion compared to standard steel or aluminum fittings. This is particularly important in welding and industrial environments where humidity, moisture, and atmospheric contaminants are common. The brass material prevents rust buildup that could otherwise compromise the integrity of the air connection or introduce particulate matter into the breathing stream.
This fitting features a standard 1/4-inch Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT) on the rear, allowing it to screw securely onto the end of compatible Miller SAR hoses. The front interface is a 1/4-inch Industrial Interchange male plug (nipple). This industry-standard profile ensures compatibility with a wide range of OEM 1/4-inch Industrial Interchange female quick-disconnect sockets, commonly found on air manifolds, filtration boxes (such as the BreatheAir™ system), and ambient air pumps.
The Miller 270436 is supplied in a package of two, providing a spare for maintenance or allowing for the setup of multiple hose assemblies. Regular inspection of air fittings is recommended; if signs of wear, deformation, or thread damage are observed, immediate replacement is necessary to ensure operator safety.
