5/16 Inch Brass Hose Mender with Round Stop

Durable 5/16" Brass Hose Splicer for Welding and Repair

Keep your welding and cutting equipment operational with the Western Enterprises WES46 Brass Hose Splicer. Designed for the practical needs of welders and tradesmen, this heavy-duty coupler allows you to quickly repair damaged hoses or connect two lengths together to extend your reach. When a hose develops a leak or is cut, replacing the entire line can be costly and time-consuming. With the WES46, you can perform a fast, professional-grade repair in the field or shop, getting you back to work with minimal downtime.

This splicer is crafted from solid brass, a material chosen for its excellent strength and resistance to rust and wear. It is specifically sized for 5/16-inch I.D. hoses, a common size in many industrial and fluid transfer applications. The double-ended barb configuration bites into the hose liner, creating a seal that resists pulling out under tension. For a permanent and leak-proof fix, simply secure the hose over the barbs using crimp ferrules or worm-gear hose clamps. The integrated round stop in the center of the fitting acts as a bumper, ensuring that both hose ends meet perfectly in the middle without guessing.

Rated for pressures up to 200 PSIG, the WES46 is tough enough to handle standard shop air lines, water coolant lines, and various gas hoses within the pressure limit. Its lightweight design (weighing only 0.038 lbs) ensures that your hose remains flexible and easy to maneuver, without a heavy fitting dragging on the line. This is particularly important for manual welding or cutting operations where hand fatigue and hose drag can affect precision.

Whether you are setting up a new shop configuration, fixing a burst line, or creating a custom hose assembly, the Western Enterprises WES46 is a versatile and reliable choice. It is a must-have item for any maintenance kit or toolbox. Please remember to always check your system's pressure requirements and gas compatibility before installation to ensure safe operation. This product is backed by Western Enterprises' reputation for quality gas equipment and accessories.
