18X56 - Western Enterprises 18-56 Style 90° Acetylene Adapter B-Male to B-Female

Streamline Your Oxy-Fuel Setup with the 90° Acetylene Adapter

Are you tired of wrestling with kinked hoses or awkward regulator angles? The Western Enterprises 18X56 90-Degree Acetylene Adapter is the simple, durable solution every welder needs in their kit. Designed to take the stress off your equipment, this solid brass elbow connects between your regulator and hose—or your hose and torch—to create a clean, right-angle turn. This seemingly small addition can make a massive difference in the longevity of your gear and the safety of your shop.

Protect Your Hoses and Regulators
When hoses hang straight down from a side-mounted regulator or bend sharply at a torch handle, the internal reinforcement can break down, leading to dangerous leaks. By installing this 90-degree adapter, you relieve that tension instantly. The hose hangs naturally, reducing wear and tear and saving you money on frequent replacements. It’s a small investment that pays for itself by extending the life of your expensive welding cable and hose assemblies.

Safety First Design
Safety is paramount when handling fuel gases. This adapter features industry-standard Left-Hand threads (indicated by the notch on the nut), ensuring it can never be accidentally connected to an oxygen line. The high-quality brass construction is spark-resistant and built to withstand the bumps and knocks of daily shop use. Whether you are setting up a mobile rig or organizing a stationary bench, this adapter helps keep your workspace tidy and your gas flow uninterrupted.

Easy Installation
No special tools are required—just a standard wrench. The female side features a swivel nut that makes tightening easy without twisting your hose. Simply screw it onto your B-size connection, tighten it down, and you are ready to work with a safer, more ergonomic setup.
