OVERVIEW

Fix Your Hose and Get Back to Burning

When you are out in the field or busy in the shop, a damaged welding hose can bring your work to a grinding halt. The Western Enterprises WES18 Brass Hose Nipple is the reliable fix you need to repair your 3/16-inch welding hoses and get back to work fast. Whether you are splicing a cut line or putting new fittings on a custom-length hose, this barbed nipple is the industry standard for a secure and safe connection. Made from solid brass, it is built to last and won't corrode or fail like cheaper alternatives, giving you peace of mind when you are dealing with combustible gases.

This nipple is designed to work perfectly with standard B-Size nuts, which are the most common fittings found on regulators and torch handles for oxy-fuel setups. It fits snugly inside 3/16-inch ID hose, and the barbed ridges bite into the rubber to create a seal that holds tight even when you are dragging lines across the floor. Rated for up to 200 PSI, it handles the pressure of oxygen and acetylene with ease. Simply slide your ferrule or clamp onto the hose, insert the nipple, and crimp it down for a factory-quality repair that saves you the cost of buying a whole new hose assembly.

Don't let a worn-out fitting or a leak slow you down. Keeping a few WES18 nipples in your toolbox means you are always prepared for quick repairs. Whether you are running a torch in a garage or on a heavy construction site, trusting quality brass components like this ensures your gear performs safely and efficiently. It is a small part that plays a big role in keeping your flame steady and your project on track.
