OVERVIEW

Extend Your Reach with the Weldcraft 11N17 Gas Coupler

Every welder knows the frustration of a hose that is just a few feet too short. Whether you are working around a large vehicle, fabricating a large structural piece, or simply trying to organize your shop layout more efficiently, having the flexibility to extend your gas lines is a game-changer. The Weldcraft 11N17 Inert Gas Hose Coupler is the simple, reliable solution to your reach problems. This handy little accessory allows you to connect two standard inert gas hoses together in seconds, effectively doubling your range without the need for expensive custom-length hoses.

Built by Weldcraft, a brand synonymous with premium TIG welding quality, this coupler is designed to last. It features standard 5/8"-18 RH threads, which is the industry standard "B-Size" fitting for almost all MIG and TIG gas hoses. This means it is compatible with your Miller, Lincoln, and ESAB equipment right out of the box. The female-to-female design is perfect for joining two male hose ends, making it an essential component for creating extension leads. If you need to move your welder away from your gas cylinder or if you are using a TIG torch with a separate gas hose, this coupler ensures you can make the connection securely.

Safety and weld quality are never compromised with the 11N17. A poor connection can suck in air, ruining your weld with porosity and forcing you to grind and re-weld. The precision-machined brass threads of this Weldcraft coupler bite securely, creating a tight seal that keeps your expensive shielding gas inside the line and the atmosphere out. It is small enough to keep in your pocket or welding kit, yet tough enough to withstand the daily abuse of a fabrication shop. Don't let a short hose limit your movement or cramp your style; keep a Weldcraft 11N17 coupler on hand and weld wherever the job takes you.

FAQ

The Weldcraft 11N17 features 5/8"-18 Right Hand (RH) threads, which is the standard B-Size fitting for inert gas equipment.

This is a Female-to-Female coupler, designed to connect two male-threaded hose ends together.

No. While the thread size might be similar to some oxygen fittings, this is designed for inert gases. Acetylene and other fuel gases use Left Hand (LH) threads to prevent safety hazards. Always use the correct fittings for your gas type.

The coupler is manufactured from durable brass, ensuring corrosion resistance and a secure seal.

Yes, Weldcraft is a Miller brand, and this coupler uses industry-standard threads compatible with most major welding brands, including Miller.

Generally, gas welding fittings rely on a metal-to-metal seat or a rounded nipple seating into the fitting. Teflon tape is usually not recommended for these specific compression-style gas fittings as loose tape can clog the line, but always check your specific hose connection type.

Absolutely. As long as your MIG gas hose uses standard B-size fittings (which most do), this coupler allows you to add an extension hose easily.

The manufacturer part number is 11N17.
