OVERVIEW

Reliable Acetylene Hose for Precision Work

When you are working on delicate brazing jobs or navigating tight spaces with a light-duty torch, the last thing you want is a heavy, stiff hose dragging you down. The ESAB 501F12 Single Hose is the perfect replacement or upgrade for your setup. Designed specifically for the "Little Torch" style handles and compact regulators, this hose features the smaller A-Size fittings (3/8"-24) right out of the box. No more hunting for adapters or trying to force a B-size nut onto a tiny torch body.

Built for the Shop Environment
Don't let the small size fool you; this is a genuine industrial-grade hose. The 3/16-inch diameter keeps the weight down, reducing hand fatigue during long sessions of silver soldering or tube welding. The 12.5-foot length gives you plenty of slack to move around your station without creating a tripping hazard. It is made from durable Grade R rubber, specifically formulated to handle acetylene gas safely. Whether you are an HVAC technician repairing lines or a metal artist creating intricate designs, this hose delivers the flexibility and flow you need.

Safety First
Old, cracked hoses are a major safety risk in any shop. If your current whip is showing signs of dry rot or has been singed one too many times, swap it out with this factory-crimped ESAB replacement. The connections are tight, the rubber is fresh, and you can weld with confidence knowing your gear is up to spec. Just remember: this Red/Grade R hose is for Acetylene only—keep the propane for the BBQ or get a Grade T hose if you switch fuels!

FAQ

A-A indicates that the hose has A-Size fittings (3/8"-24 threads) on both ends, which are smaller than standard B-Size fittings.

No. This is a Grade R hose designed for Acetylene. Propane and other oil-based fuel gases can degrade the rubber lining. You need a Grade T hose for propane.

The hose has an internal diameter (ID) of 3/16 inch.

This is a single line hose, typically used for the fuel gas supply in this configuration.

The hose is 12.5 feet long.

Likely not directly. Most standard torches use B-Size (9/16"-18) fittings. This hose is for light-duty torches that use A-Size fittings.

This hose is manufactured by ESAB, often under their Oxweld or Victor product lines.

In the welding industry, red hoses typically indicate fuel gas (like acetylene), while green indicates oxygen.
