3/16 Inch Brass Hose Barb Splicer Repair Fitting

Extend the Life of Your Welding Hoses

For professional welders and fabricators, a damaged hose doesn't just mean downtime—it can be a safety hazard. The Western Enterprises WES55 Hose Splicer is the perfect addition to your shop's repair kit, allowing you to fix 3/16-inch hoses quickly and get back to the job at hand. Whether you are dealing with a cut in your shielding gas line or a leak in a water-coolant hose, this heavy-duty brass splicer provides a secure, leak-proof connection you can trust.

Constructed from solid brass, the WES55 is built to withstand the rigors of the welding environment. Unlike cheaper fittings that may crack or deform, this splicer maintains its shape and seal integrity. It is rated for pressures up to 200 PSI, which covers the standard operating pressures for most MIG and TIG shielding gases as well as shop air supplies. The double-barbed design ensures that once the hose is clamped down, the connection remains tight, preventing gas loss that could lead to porosity in your welds or expensive waste of consumables.

Installation is straightforward. Simply cut out the damaged section of your hose, insert the WES55 splicer into both clean ends, and secure it with a hose clamp or ferrule. This simple repair can save you the cost of buying a brand-new hose assembly, especially when the damage is localized. It is an ideal solution for extending the reach of your equipment by joining two shorter hoses together, giving you the flexibility to move around large workpieces without moving your machine or cylinder cart.

At Welders Supply, we understand that quality accessories make the difference in daily operations. The WES55 is compatible with standard 3/16-inch ID rubber and synthetic hoses used in welding and cutting applications. Keep a few of these in your toolbox to ensure that a minor hose accident never turns into a major production delay. Trust in Western Enterprises for fittings that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
