WES144 - Western Enterprises 144 Brass Regulator Adaptor, 1/2" NPT Male x 9/16"-18 RH Male

Reliable Oxygen Regulator Adaptor for Welding Setups

Upgrade or repair your welding gas equipment with the Western Enterprises 144 Regulator Outlet Bushing. In the world of welding and metal fabrication, having the right fittings is the difference between a safe, working rig and downtime. This adaptor is designed to solve a common compatibility issue: connecting a regulator with a 1/2-inch NPT output port to a standard oxygen welding hose. The 144 model features a 1/2" NPT Male thread on one end and a B-Size 9/16"-18 Right Hand Male thread on the other, bridging the gap between industrial pipe threads and standard welding hose connections.

Constructed from durable solid brass, this fitting is built to last. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen fittings due to its non-sparking properties and durability. The adaptor is machined with a 7/8" hex grip, making it easy to tighten securely with a standard wrench. It is rated for up to 200 PSIG, covering the vast majority of cutting and welding oxygen pressure requirements. The CGA-022 designation ensures it meets the specific dimensional standards for oxygen service, and the right-hand threads ensure you cannot accidentally connect it to a fuel gas hose, maintaining a critical safety barrier in your shop.

Whether you are retrofitting an older regulator, building a custom gas distribution panel, or simply replacing a damaged outlet, the Western Enterprises 144 is the professional's choice. It eliminates the need for multiple stacked adaptors, providing a direct and clean connection path that minimizes potential leak points. Keep your oxy-fuel cutting and welding operations running smoothly with high-quality, American-made brass fittings that you can trust.
