OVERVIEW

Precise Flow Control with Miller OEM Quality

The Miller 236657 Orifice is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the exacting standards of your Miller welding equipment. In the world of industrial welding, consistency is key. Even minor deviations in shielding gas flow or fluid pressure can lead to weld defects, porosity, or equipment malfunction. This precision-engineered fitting features a specific 0.025-inch orifice, calculated to deliver the exact flow rate required for optimal machine performance.

Constructed with durability in mind, this fitting serves as a robust adapter between gas lines or internal machine components. It features a 1/4-inch NPT Male thread on one side and a 1/4-inch NPT Female thread on the other, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into existing piping or hose assemblies without the need for additional adapters. The 0.75-inch (3/4") hex body provides ample surface area for wrenches, ensuring that technicians can tighten the fitting securely to prevent leaks without stripping the threads or rounding off the edges.

Using genuine Miller Electric parts like the 236657 Orifice is essential for protecting your investment. Generic fittings may not have the precise drilling tolerances required, leading to turbulent flow or incorrect pressure drops. Whether you are repairing a wire feeder, a power source, or a custom gas manifold, this OEM part guarantees that your equipment operates exactly as the engineers intended. At Josef Gas, we recommend keeping critical spares like this on hand to minimize downtime during routine maintenance schedules.

Installation is straightforward for any maintenance personnel familiar with NPT fittings. Simply ensure the threads are clean and apply an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the gas or fluid being used. This small but vital component plays a significant role in the overall efficiency and reliability of your welding operations.

FAQ

The orifice hole diameter is 0.025 inches.

It features 1/4" NPT Male threads on one end and 1/4" NPT Female threads on the other.

You will need a 3/4-inch (0.75") wrench or an adjustable wrench to tighten the hex body.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Electric OEM replacement part, SKU 236657.

While it can be cleaned with compressed air, using a wire or drill bit may enlarge the hole and ruin the calibration. Replacement is recommended if it cannot be cleared with air or solvent.

It is typically made of brass, which is standard for welding gas fittings due to its durability and corrosion resistance.

No, thread sealant or tape is not included and should be applied separately during installation.

The orifice size determines the flow rate of the gas. Using the wrong size can lead to poor shielding coverage or wasted gas.
