260980 - Miller OEM Replacement Hose, 3/8 ID x 12-Inch, 500 PSI

Reliable Fluid Transfer with Miller OEM Parts

Maintenance is a critical aspect of industrial welding operations, and using the correct replacement parts is essential for safety and longevity. The Miller 260980 Hose is a genuine OEM component designed to meet the rigorous standards of Miller Electric welding equipment. This specific hose segment is engineered to handle high-pressure applications, boasting a rating of 500 PSI. This makes it suitable for critical fluid transfer lines within your power source or cooling system, where inferior hoses might swell or burst under pressure.

The hose features an inner diameter (ID) of 0.375 inches (3/8") and an outer diameter (OD) of 0.719 inches. These precise dimensions are crucial for ensuring a leak-free seal when used with the appropriate clamps and fittings. A loose hose connection can lead to coolant leaks that overheat your torch or gas leaks that compromise your weld quality. By choosing this genuine Miller part, you ensure that the wall thickness and material composition are exactly what the engineers intended for your specific machine model.

Durability in Industrial Environments

Welding environments are harsh, often exposing equipment to heat, sparks, and abrasive dust. The Miller 260980 is constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding these conditions better than generic automotive hoses. The 12-inch length is pre-cut to fit specific internal routing paths within Miller equipment, saving maintenance teams the time and effort of measuring and cutting bulk hose rolls. This part is typically used for short runs connecting internal components like pumps, radiators, or gas solenoids.

Regular inspection of your welding equipment's internal plumbing is recommended. If you notice signs of cracking, dry rot, or swelling in your existing hoses, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent catastrophic failure. This 500 PSI rated hose provides the peace of mind that comes with using manufacturer-approved components, ensuring your operations continue to run smoothly and safely.
