0997-0020 - Victor Brass Adaptor 1/4 NPT Male to 1 Inch NPS Left Hand

Connect with Confidence: Victor Brass Adaptor

When you are setting up a custom gas rig or repairing a manifold, finding the right fitting can be the difference between getting the job done and shutting down for the day. The Victor 0997-0020 Brass Adaptor is a hard-to-find, heavy-duty fitting designed to solve specific connection headaches. This adaptor converts a standard 1/4" NPT Male thread to a large 1"-11 1/2 NPS Left-Hand thread. If you are working with fuel gas systems that require this specific large-bore connection, this is the part you need to ensure a safe and secure fit.

Why is the Left-Hand thread so important? In the world of welding and cutting, safety is built into the gear itself. Left-hand threads (often marked with a notch on the nut, though this is an adaptor body) are universally used for fuel gases like Acetylene, Propane, and Natural Gas. This prevents you from accidentally hooking up an oxygen line to a fuel line, which is a major safety hazard. This Victor adaptor keeps your shop safe by ensuring that only the correct fuel gas lines can be connected to your system. The 1" NPS size is robust and designed for higher-flow or industrial setups where standard smaller fittings just won't cut it.

Made from solid brass, this fitting is built to last. Brass is tough, resists rust, and most importantly, it doesn't spark if you drop it or bang it with a wrench—a crucial feature when working around flammable gases. The 1/4" NPT side allows you to screw this adaptor into a wide range of standard pipes, regulators, or valves, making it a versatile problem-solver for your tool crib. Whether you are a professional pipefitter, a shop foreman, or a welder maintaining your own equipment, having high-quality brass fittings like this on hand ensures you can maintain leak-free, safe connections.

Don't rely on sketchy, makeshift connections when dealing with pressurized gas. Trust the brand that welders have relied on for decades. Victor's fittings are machined to exact standards, meaning no cross-threading and no fighting to get a seal. Simply apply the appropriate thread sealant to the NPT side, tighten it down, and you are ready to go. Get your gas distribution system running smoothly with the Victor 0997-0020.
