950614 - ESAB Gas Hose Quick Connect Socket

Streamline Your Welding Setup

For welders who demand flexibility and speed in their equipment setup, the ESAB 950614 Socket Quick Connect is a game-changer. Gone are the days of fumbling with wrenches to unscrew gas hoses every time you need to change a torch or move a machine. This high-performance quick connect socket allows you to snap your gas or water lines into place instantly, creating a secure and reliable connection in seconds. It is the perfect solution for busy shops where time is money and equipment versatility is key.

Constructed from robust brass, this socket is engineered to endure the daily abuse of a welding shop. It resists deformation and corrosion, ensuring that the locking mechanism remains smooth and easy to operate over time. The knurled outer sleeve provides a positive grip, making it easy to retract and release the connection even while wearing heavy welding gloves. This attention to ergonomic detail is what sets ESAB accessories apart, focusing on the user experience to make the welder's job easier and more efficient.

Leak prevention is a top priority in any welding operation. A compromised gas line can lead to poor arc stability and weld defects. The ESAB 950614 features precision seals that ensure a gas-tight fit when connected. Furthermore, most quick connect sockets of this type incorporate an automatic check valve that seals the line when the plug is removed. This means you don't have to walk back to the cylinder to turn off the gas every time you disconnect a hose, saving you steps and preserving your expensive shielding gas. This feature is equally important for water-cooled TIG setups, preventing coolant from spilling on the floor or equipment.

Whether you are upgrading your existing rig or outfitting a new welding station, incorporating the ESAB 950614 Socket Quick Connect is a smart move. It simplifies maintenance, enhances safety by reducing leak points, and provides a professional touch to your equipment. Compatible with standard industry profiles, it integrates seamlessly into most MIG and TIG setups, providing a universal solution for hose management.
