OVERVIEW

Extend Your Reach with the Right Connections

When you are in the middle of a job and your torch hose just won't reach the work, you don't need to move the heavy cylinder cart—you just need the right adapter. The B-Size Acetylene Male to Male Coupler is the simple, reliable solution for connecting two acetylene hoses together. Whether you are working on a large structural project or navigating around a vehicle chassis, this brass fitting lets you daisy-chain your hoses to get the length you need.

Built tough for the shop environment, this adapter is made from solid brass that stands up to daily abuse. It features the standard Left-Hand threads (look for the notch on the hex) that match your red acetylene or fuel gas hoses. This ensures you never accidentally hook it up to an oxygen line, keeping you and your shop safe. The hex body gives you a solid grip for your wrench, ensuring you can get a tight, leak-free seal every time.

Don't get caught short on hose length. Keep a couple of these couplers in your toolbox or on your rig. They are the cheapest insurance against downtime when you need that extra 25 or 50 feet of reach. Compatible with all standard "B" size fittings found on most Victor, Harris, and Smith style equipment.

Key Benefits

  • Instant Extension: Quickly join two hoses to double your working radius.
  • Safety First: Left-hand threads prevent dangerous cross-connections with oxygen.
  • Durable: Solid brass resists rust and stands up to shop wear and tear.
  • Universal Fit: Works with any standard B-size (5/8"-18) fuel gas hose.

FAQ

This adapter features 5/8"-18 UNF threads, commonly known as "B-Size" in the welding industry.

No. This fitting has Left-Hand (LH) threads, indicated by the notch on the hex. Oxygen fittings use Right-Hand threads. You need a separate oxygen coupler (usually green) for oxygen lines.

It is machined from solid brass, which provides excellent durability and spark resistance.

If your hose has a standard "B" connection (the most common size for industrial oxy-fuel gear) and is for fuel gas (red hose), this will fit. The nut on your hose should spin counter-clockwise to tighten onto this fitting.

No, this is a solid one-piece adapter. The swivel action typically comes from the hose nuts connecting to it.

While the brass fitting itself can handle pressures over 200 PSI, Acetylene gas must never be used above 15 PSI for safety reasons. The fitting is fully rated for all standard fuel gas working pressures.

The notches on the hex indicate that the threads are Left-Handed. This is a universal safety standard for fuel gases to prevent mixing with oxygen equipment.

Yes, as long as your propane hose uses standard B-size fuel gas fittings (which most do), this adapter is compatible.
