2064114 - ESAB Stainless Steel Push-On Hose Nipple 3/16 ID

Reliable Fittings for Your Welding Rig

When you are deep in a fabrication project, the last thing you want to worry about is a leaking hose on your water cooler or a gas line that won't stay sealed. The ESAB 2064114 Stainless Steel Hose Nipple is the heavy-duty solution for welders who demand reliability from their equipment. Built from solid stainless steel, this fitting is designed to replace the cheap plastic or corroded brass fittings that often come standard on older machines or aftermarket torches. If you are running a water-cooled TIG setup, you know that green coolant can be corrosive over time; stainless steel is the best defense against the internal rust and gunk that kills pumps and clogs torches.

This nipple is sized perfectly for 3/16-inch ID hose, which is the standard size for many water lines and gas hoses in the industry. The "Push" style barb is designed to slide into the hose and hold fast. While many push-lock hoses don't technically require a clamp, adding a small O-clip or cable tie offers that extra peace of mind when you are dragging cables around the shop floor. The stainless construction means you can crank down on a hose clamp without crushing the fitting, and you won't snap it off if your cable gets snagged on a table corner.

Upgrading your connections is a small investment that pays off in uptime. A blown water line can fry a several-hundred-dollar torch head in seconds. By swapping out old, questionable fittings for these ESAB stainless nipples, you are hardening your system against failure. They are also great for building custom extension leads or adapting different torches to your machine. If you are retrofitting a cooler or fixing a gas leak, keep a few of these in your toolbox.

Don't let a ten-cent leak ruin a thousand-dollar job. Trust the durability of stainless steel for your gas and water connections. Whether you are pushing argon, helium, or coolant, this 3/16-inch nipple ensures the stuff gets where it needs to go without leaking all over your shop floor. It’s a simple, tough part that does its job so you can focus on laying perfect beads.
