999082 - ESAB Acetylene B-Tank Adapter (Male)

Reliable B-Tank Adapter for HVAC and Plumbing Pros

When you are out on a job site, the last thing you need is a regulator that won't fit your tank. The ESAB 999082 Acetylene Adapter is the solution for welders, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who rely on portable B-tanks (40 cu. ft.) for their brazing and soldering work. We know that B-tanks are the industry standard for portability, but they often come with valve connections that don't match every regulator in your truck. This heavy-duty brass adapter bridges that gap, allowing you to hook up your gear quickly and get the flame lit without hassle.

Built tough by ESAB, this adapter isn't some cheap fitting that will strip out after a few uses. It is machined from solid brass, meaning it can take the abuse of daily field work, being thrown in a tool bag, and tightened down repeatedly. The brass construction is also essential for safety, as it won't spark if your wrench slips—a non-negotiable feature when you are working with acetylene. It provides a secure, leak-free seal so you can focus on your bead or braze joint, not on sniffing for gas leaks.

This adapter is designed to convert the unique valve on a B-tank to a standard male connection, making it compatible with a wider variety of regulators and torch outfits. Whether you are sweating copper pipes in a tight crawlspace or repairing an HVAC unit on a roof, having the right adapter means you aren't stuck making a run to the supply house. Keep one of these in your kit as a primary connector or a backup, and ensure your portable oxy-fuel or air-acetylene setup is always ready for action.
