950179 - 1/4 Inch NPT Brass Tee Fitting

Essential Gas Distribution for Welding Setups

The ESAB 950179 Tee 1/4 NPT is a critical accessory for welders looking to customize or repair their shielding gas delivery systems. In the world of welding, precise gas flow is non-negotiable for achieving high-quality welds. This tee fitting provides a simple yet effective solution for splitting a single gas source to supply two separate machines or to run a purge line simultaneously with a torch line. Its robust design ensures it can handle the pressures typically associated with welding regulators and flowmeters.

Featuring standard 1/4-inch NPT threads, this fitting is compatible with the majority of American standard regulators, solenoid valves, and hose barbs used in the welding industry. The tapered thread design creates a mechanical seal that tightens as it is screwed in, effectively preventing gas leaks that could lead to porosity in welds or wasted consumables. It is an indispensable part for fabricators who need to adapt their equipment for specific project requirements without investing in entirely new manifold systems.

Durability is key when dealing with shop equipment. This tee is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, including vibration and incidental impact. Whether you are setting up a TIG station that requires a back-purge or simply organizing your shop's compressed air lines for plasma cutting, this fitting offers the versatility you need. It represents the quality engineering associated with ESAB, a leader in welding and cutting technologies.

Don't let a lack of proper fittings hold up your fabrication projects. The ESAB 950179 Tee allows for flexible system configurations, ensuring you have the gas coverage where you need it, when you need it. Add this essential component to your spare parts kit to ensure you are always ready to adapt your setup for the task at hand.
