Take command of your gas delivery system with the Western Enterprises 3396 Needle Valve. In the world of oxy-fuel welding and cutting, having the right amount of gas flow is critical for safety and weld quality. Sometimes, the regulator on your tank isn't enough—especially if you are running long hoses or operating multiple torches from a single manifold. That is where the 3396 comes in. This high-performance needle valve allows you to fine-tune the flow of acetylene or other fuel gases right at the point of use or inline with your equipment.
Safety is paramount when dealing with fuel gases, and Western Enterprises has designed this valve with that in mind. The unit features Left-Hand (LH) threads on both the male and female ends, conforming to the B-Size 5/8"-18 standard. This "reverse" threading ensures that the valve can never be accidentally installed on an oxygen line, preventing dangerous cross-contamination. The solid brass body is rugged and durable, capable of surviving the knocks and drops that happen in a busy shop environment.
Installation is straightforward. The Male x Female configuration acts as an extension to your existing fittings. Simply thread the male end into your regulator, manifold outlet, or hose coupler, and connect your downstream equipment to the female end. The knurled control knob provides a sure grip, even when wearing welding gloves, allowing for smooth and gradual adjustments. Whether you are replacing a worn-out valve on a burning table or adding extra control to a brazing station, the Western Enterprises 3396 is the dependable choice for professional welders.
