0960-0023 - Victor 1/8" NPT x "A" Size Fuel Hose Adapter

Reliable Connections for Your Fuel Gas Setup

When you are setting up a custom welding rig or repairing a specific piece of equipment, finding the right adapter is often the hardest part of the job. The Victor 0960-0023 Hose Connection is the solution you need when you are working with "A" size fuel hoses and 1/8-inch NPT ports. Whether you are adapting a small regulator, a solenoid valve, or a custom manifold, this brass fitting ensures you get the job done safely and correctly.

Why "A" Size Matters
Most standard welding gear uses "B" size fittings (the larger ones you see on most heavy-duty torches). However, light-duty equipment, jewelry torches, and specific HVAC tools often use the smaller "A" size (3/8"-24 threads). If your hose has the smaller nut, a standard adapter won't fit. This Victor fitting bridges that gap, converting a standard 1/8" NPT female thread into a male "A" size outlet ready for your fuel hose.

Safety First: Left-Hand Threads
Never compromise on safety. This fitting features Left-Hand threads on the hose side, indicated by the notch usually found on mating nuts. This is the industry standard for fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane. The reverse thread direction prevents you from accidentally hooking up an oxygen line to a fuel source, a critical safety feature in any shop. The solid brass construction means you don't have to worry about rust or stripped threads after a few uses; it's built to last.

Installation Tips
When installing the 1/8" NPT side, be sure to use a gas-rated thread sealant or Teflon tape to ensure a bubble-tight seal. For the hose side, simply tighten your hose nut firmly—no tape needed there, as the seal happens on the internal seat. Keep a few of these Victor 0960-0023 connectors in your maintenance kit so you aren't left scrambling when a custom hookup is required. Trust Victor for precision manufacturing that keeps your flame steady and your shop safe.
