The ESAB 19878 A-Size Oxygen Hose Nipple is the reliable solution you need to get back to work quickly and safely. Designed for welders who fabricate their own hoses or need to perform on-the-spot repairs, this brass nipple is built to last. It connects your 1/4-inch oxygen hose to standard A-Size equipment, ensuring that your gas flow remains consistent and leak-free.

This nipple features a robust brass construction that stands up to the wear and tear of daily use. The barb is specifically shaped to grip the inside of your 1/4-inch hose securely. When paired with a proper crimp or clamp, it prevents the hose from popping off under pressure, giving you peace of mind while you are handling volatile gases.

Using the ESAB 19878 is straightforward. simply slide your A-Size nut onto the hose, press the nipple barb into the hose end, and crimp it down. The result is a professional-grade connection that fits any standard A-Size oxygen port. Don't let a leaky or broken hose compromise your weld quality or safety. Keep your equipment running smoothly with high-quality brass fittings designed for the job. This part is ideal for light-duty torches and regulators often found in HVAC, jewelry making, and light fabrication where A-Size fittings are the standard.
