Western Enterprises WES205 Oxygen Valve 1/4 NPT Male x 9/16-18 RH Male

Durable Brass Valve for Welding Gas Systems

For professional welders and fabricators, the integrity of gas distribution equipment is paramount to safety and weld quality. The Western Enterprises WES205 Brass Body Valve is designed to meet these needs, offering a durable and leak-proof solution for controlling oxygen flow. Whether you are building a custom manifold, repairing a gas panel, or setting up a new workstation, this valve provides the performance and safety assurance required in a welding shop environment. Its solid brass construction is tough enough to handle the physical demands of industrial workspaces while ensuring compatibility with oxygen gas.

Safety is a critical concern when handling oxygen, and the WES205 is engineered with this in mind. It is rated for pressures up to 200 PSIG, providing a safe operating margin for typical downstream applications. The valve mechanism is designed to provide positive shutoff and smooth flow control. The use of brass eliminates the risk of sparking and provides excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, ensuring that the valve remains improved and functional over time. Note that this product is designed for non-corrosive gases and is specifically labeled for Oxygen service.

Versatile Application in Gas Manifolds

The WES205 is particularly useful for constructing or repairing gas manifolds and outlet stations. Its 1/4" NPT Male inlet allows it to be threaded directly into rigid piping or manifold blocks. The outlet side features a standard B-Size (9/16"-18 UNF) Right-Hand Male connection, which mates perfectly with standard oxygen hoses and fittings used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding setups. This direct compatibility simplifies setup and reduces the number of leak points by eliminating unnecessary adapters.
