OVERVIEW

Keep Your Gas Lines Secure with ESAB

There is nothing more frustrating than a stripped nut on your regulator or a leaky hose connection right when you are ready to lay a bead. The ESAB 12K15 Connection Nut is the direct replacement you need to fix those worn-out B-size connections. If you are building a new extension hose or repairing a damaged end on your TIG or MIG setup, this brass nut is the standard hardware you need. It features the common 5/8"-18 thread found on almost all inert gas regulators and flowmeters.

Why settle for cheap hardware store fittings that might not seat correctly? This ESAB nut is machined specifically for the welding industry. The 0.359" ID is sized perfectly to slip over your standard hose nipple, allowing you to tighten it down securely without binding. The brass construction ensures it won't rust tight to your regulator, making future changeouts easier. Plus, it's UL listed, so you know it's built to handle the pressures and rigors of a working shop.

Don't let a $5 part ruin a $500 job. Leaky connections waste expensive shielding gas and can suck in atmosphere, ruining your weld quality. Keep a few of these 12K15 nuts in your toolbox or parts bin. Whether you are swapping out torches, fixing a crimped hose, or setting up a new machine, having the right connection hardware ensures you get a gas-tight seal every time. Simple, reliable, and built to last—exactly what you expect from ESAB.

FAQ

The thread size is 5/8"-18 Female (also listed as .63-18F), which is the standard B-size connection for many welding gas fittings.

The inner diameter is 0.359 inches, designed to fit over standard hose nipples.

It is made of brass, which provides durability and corrosion resistance suitable for gas connections.

Yes, the product description indicates it is UL listed, ensuring it meets specific safety standards.

If your regulator uses a standard B-size outlet (5/8"-18), which is very common for Argon and inert gas regulators, this nut will fit.

No, this is the connection nut only. The hose nipple must be purchased separately or reused if in good condition.

While the thread size might match some B-size fittings, oxygen fittings typically use right-hand threads (like this one) but require specific cleaning and compatibility. Always check your specific equipment's CGA requirements. This is generally used for inert gases.

The spec .63-18F implies a standard right-hand thread unless marked LH. B-size Inert Gas (CGA 032) is right-hand. Fuel gas B-size fittings are left-hand (notched). This appears to be a standard right-hand nut.
