OVERVIEW

Get Your Connections Right with Victor

There is nothing more frustrating than getting to the job site or setting up your bench only to realize your hose doesn't fit your regulator. If you are working with light-duty torches or hoses that use the smaller "A" size fittings (3/8"-24), but your gas supply regulator has the standard industrial "B" size outlet (5/8"-18), the Victor 0960-0052 Adaptor is exactly what you need. Don't try to force mismatched threads or use unsafe temporary fixes—get the proper brass fitting designed to do the job safely.

Built for the Shop

This isn't a cheap hardware store part; it's a genuine Victor brass fitting. It is machined to precise standards so it threads on smoothly and seals tight. The solid brass construction means it won't strip out easily or crack under pressure. It features the standard Left-Hand threads required for all fuel gases, including Acetylene and Propane, keeping your shop safe by preventing accidental mix-ups with oxygen lines. The nut is notched, marking it clearly as a fuel fitting.

Problem Solver

This adaptor is a lifesaver for welders who maintain multiple torch setups. Maybe you have a heavy-duty Victor Journeyman outfit but need to do some fine detail work with a smaller torch that uses A-size hoses. Instead of buying a whole new regulator, you simply screw this adaptor onto your existing regulator, and you are ready to connect your light-duty hose. It's a small, inexpensive part that solves a big compatibility headache.

Quick Specs

  • Inlet: "B" Size Female (Fits onto standard regulators)
  • Outlet: "A" Size Male (Accepts small hoses)
  • Gas Type: Fuel Gas Only (Acetylene, Propane, etc.)
  • Material: Solid Brass

Keep one of these in your toolbox. You never know when you'll run into a mismatched hose and regulator, and having the Victor 0960-0052 on hand means you can get back to work immediately.

FAQ

'B' size fittings are the standard for most industrial welding equipment, featuring a 5/8"-18 thread. 'A' size fittings are smaller, typically used for light-duty applications, and feature a 3/8"-24 thread.

No. This adaptor has Left-Hand (LH) threads, which are exclusively for fuel gases (Acetylene, Propane, etc.). Oxygen fittings use Right-Hand (RH) threads to prevent dangerous cross-connections.

Yes, if your regulator has a standard 'B' size Male outlet (which most do), the Female end of this adaptor will screw directly onto it.

Generally, no. Welding fittings are designed to seal on the machined seat, not the threads. However, ensure the seating surfaces are clean and free of damage. Follow specific manufacturer instructions if unsure.

The Victor 0960-0052 is manufactured from solid brass, ensuring durability and spark resistance.

Since you are adapting down to a smaller 'A' size connection, the flow will be limited to the capacity of the 'A' fitting and hose. This is sufficient for light-duty applications but may not support heavy heating tips.

Yes, this adaptor is compatible with all standard fuel gases, including Propane, Acetylene, Propylene, and Natural Gas, provided the pressure ratings of the downstream equipment are respected.
