0997-0008 - Victor Brass Adaptor 1/2 NPT Male x 1-11.5 NPS Left Hand

Reliable Connections with the Victor 0997-0008 Adaptor

When you are setting up a shop or repairing a gas manifold, having the right fitting can be the difference between a job well done and a frustrating delay. The Victor 0997-0008 Brass Adaptor is the heavy-duty solution you need for connecting your fuel gas lines securely. Built by Victor, a brand synonymous with quality in the welding industry, this adaptor is designed to take the abuse of daily shop life while keeping your gas flow safe and steady.

This isn't just a generic hardware store part; it is a purpose-built welding accessory. The adaptor features a 1/2-inch NPT Male thread on one side, which is the standard size for most hard-piped drops and manifold outlets. On the other side, you have a 1-inch - 11 1/2 NPS Left Hand thread. If you've been in the trade for a while, you know that the "Left Hand" thread is the universal sign for fuel gas. This safety feature ensures you never accidentally hook up an oxygen line to a fuel port, keeping you and your crew safe from dangerous cross-connections.

Why choose brass? Because in a welding environment, durability matters. Steel fittings can rust, and plastic is a non-starter for industrial gas. This solid brass adaptor resists corrosion and stands up to the wear and tear of tightening and loosening connections. It is tough enough to handle the pressures of your system without cracking or deforming. The precision machining means the threads bite cleanly and seal tight, so you aren't wasting time chasing leaks with soapy water when you should be cutting or heating.

Whether you are building a custom manifold, replacing a worn-out fitting on a regulator station, or adapting a new piece of equipment to your existing shop piping, the Victor 0997-0008 is the part that makes it happen. It’s a small component with a big job—keeping your fuel gas contained and flowing exactly where it needs to go. Don't compromise on your fittings; use genuine Victor parts to ensure your equipment runs at peak performance.
