OVERVIEW

Keep Your Oxygen Fittings Clean and Safe

Every welder knows that dirt is the enemy of a good gas setup. The Western Enterprises 86W40 Brass Plug & Chain is a simple, rugged solution to keep your oxygen and inert gas fittings in top shape. Whether you are disconnecting a hose from a regulator for transport or capping off an unused port on a shop manifold, this plug is the right tool for the job.

Built for the Shop
Made from solid brass, this plug is tough enough to handle the daily grind of a welding shop. It won't rust, and the threads are machined precisely to screw smoothly onto any standard B-Size (5/8"-18) Right Hand outlet. This is the standard size for almost all oxygen regulators and many inert gas setups (like Argon for TIG/MIG).

Never Lose Your Plug Again
One of the biggest annoyances with dust caps is that they disappear the moment you take them off. Western Enterprises solved this by attaching a sturdy chain. You can secure the chain to your regulator or manifold, so when you unscrew the plug to hook up your hose, the plug just hangs right there waiting for you. No more searching the floor or digging through your pockets.

Why You Need It:

  • Protect Threads: Keeps the threads on your expensive regulators from getting banged up.
  • Block Debris: Stops dust, spiders, and grinding grit from getting inside your gas line.
  • Safety: A clean connection is a safe connection.

Don't leave your valves open to the elements. Cap them off with the 86W40 and keep your gear ready to weld.

FAQ

The thread size is 5/8"-18 UNF, commonly known as B-Size.

This is a Right Hand (RH) thread plug.

No. Fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane typically use Left Hand (LH) threads (notched nuts). This plug is Right Hand and will not fit.

It is machined from solid brass.

Yes, the assembly includes the brass plug attached to a chain.

It is designed to protect threads and prevent dirt, dust, and debris from entering gas outlets when they are not in use.

If your Argon regulator uses a standard B-Size outlet (5/8"-18 RH), which is very common, then yes, this plug will fit.

While the brass construction and threads provide a tight seal, this is primarily designed as a protective dust plug. Always close the cylinder or manifold valve before installing.
