OVERVIEW

Connect Your Cooling Lines with Confidence

When setting up a water-cooled TIG or MIG system, mismatched hose fittings can be a major headache. The ESAB 21570 Adapter is the problem-solver you need in your toolbox. Designed to convert between the two most common welding fitting sizes—B-Size (standard 5/8") and A-Size (smaller 3/8")—this brass fitting ensures you can get your coolant flowing without searching for a new hose assembly.

Why Brass?
In the welding world, durability is key. Plastic fittings can crack under heat or stress, and steel can rust when exposed to water coolants. This ESAB adapter is machined from solid brass, providing the perfect balance of strength and corrosion resistance. It stands up to the rigors of daily shop use and maintains a tight seal to keep your coolant where it belongs—inside the line, not on your floor.

Safety First
This adapter features Left Hand (LH) threads, which is the industry standard for water and fuel lines. This safety feature prevents you from accidentally connecting a water line to an inert gas or oxygen regulator, protecting both your equipment and your weld quality. Whether you are adapting a new torch to an older water cooler or extending your reach with different hose sizes, this adapter is a simple, effective solution.

Key Features

  • Converts B-Size (5/8"-18) to A-Size (3/8"-24)
  • Left-hand threads for water service safety
  • Heavy-duty brass construction
  • Essential for water-cooled torch setups

FAQ

A-Size fittings typically use a 3/8"-24 thread, while B-Size fittings use a larger 5/8"-18 thread. This adapter allows you to connect these two different sizes.

Left Hand (LH) threads are standard for water and fuel gas connections in the welding industry to distinguish them from Oxygen and Inert Gas lines (which use Right Hand threads), preventing dangerous cross-connections.

No, shielding gas (Argon, CO2, Mixes) typically uses Right Hand threads. This adapter is designed for water or fuel lines with Left Hand threads.

Yes, the ESAB 21570 is manufactured from solid brass for durability and corrosion resistance.

It likely refers to the 5/8" dimension (5/8-18 thread) or is a catalog abbreviation. The key specification is the B-Size to A-Size conversion.

Yes, if your water cooler and torch lines use standard CGA 'A' or 'B' style water fittings, this adapter is designed for that application.

Typically, welding fittings rely on a metal-to-metal seat (ball and cone) for sealing. Thread tape is usually not recommended for these specific compression-style fittings unless specified otherwise.
