OVERVIEW

Connect Your Argon Gear with Confidence

Struggling to get your gas lines hooked up because the threads don't match? The Western Enterprises 74S-76 Brass Adapter is the problem solver you need in your toolbox. This handy fitting converts a standard 1/4" NPT female port into a 5/8"-18 female connection, which is the standard "B-Size" fitting for inert gases like Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen.

If you are building a custom gas manifold, modifying a regulator, or setting up a new TIG welder, you often run into mismatched threads. This adapter bridges the gap between common pipe threads (NPT) and welding-specific gas threads. Made from heavy-duty brass, it stands up to the wear and tear of the shop and resists rust and oxidation. It's a simple, rugged part that does exactly what it's supposed to do—keep your gas flowing without leaks.

Key Applications:

  • Adapting flowmeters to manifolds.
  • Connecting inert gas hoses to custom equipment.
  • Retrofitting regulators with different outlet ports.

Don't rely on sketchy, makeshift connections. Use the proper brass adapter to ensure your shielding gas gets to the weld puddle where it belongs. This fitting is rated for standard inert gas service and is compatible with standard US welding equipment.

FAQ

One end is 1/4" NPT Male, and the other is 5/8"-18 Right Hand Female.

It is designed for Inert Gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen.

Yes, the 5/8"-18 thread is the standard B-Size connection for inert gas fittings.

No, this adapter is specified for Inert Gas. Oxygen fittings typically require specific cleaning and may use different CGA standards depending on the pressure.

You should use Teflon tape or thread sealant on the 1/4" NPT Male end. The 5/8"-18 end typically relies on a mechanical seat and does not use tape.

It is machined from solid brass.

No, this is a straight-through brass adapter with no internal check valve.

It is internal (Female) thread.
