1/4 Inch Brass Hose Mender with Hex Stop

Reliable Hose Repair and Extension

Don't let a damaged hose stop your production or force you to buy a brand-new assembly. The Western Enterprises WES37 Hose Barb Splicer is the professional's choice for repairing and extending 1/4-inch industrial hoses. Whether you are working with welding gas lines, compressed air, or water coolant systems, this heavy-duty brass mender allows you to quickly join two sections of hose with confidence. It is a must-have item for any shop's spare parts bin, ensuring that you can address leaks or length issues immediately and get back to work.

Built for the Industrial Environment

In a welding shop or industrial site, fittings need to be tough. Plastic connectors can crack, and inferior metals can corrode or deform. The WES37 is machined from high-quality brass, providing excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and physical wear. Brass is also the standard for welding gas equipment, offering a safe and durable connection that stands up to the demands of dragging hoses across concrete floors and around equipment. This splicer is designed to last as long as your hoses do, providing a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix.

Designed for Easy Installation

One of the biggest frustrations with standard hose menders is trying to grip a smooth piece of metal while forcing a tight hose over the barbs. Western Enterprises has solved this with the WES37 by including a hex stop in the center of the fitting. This hexagonal ring acts as a grip point, allowing you to use a wrench or pliers to hold the splicer steady. This leverage makes it much easier to fully insert the barbs into the hose ends, ensuring a proper seal and safe operation. The stop also serves as a visual indicator to ensure the hose is pushed on far enough.

Versatile Shop Utility

The WES37 is incredibly versatile. While it is perfect for splicing a cut or burned section out of a standard 1/4-inch welding hose, it is equally effective for extending air tool lines or water hoses. By keeping a few of these splicers on hand, along with the appropriate hose clamps or ferrules, you can create custom hose lengths tailored to your specific workspace layout. Stop struggling with hoses that are just a few feet too short; splice in an extension with the WES37 and work comfortably.
