Keep your welding rig running smoothly with the Western Enterprises 8 Acetylene Hose Nut. Every welder knows that a stripped or damaged nut on a torch hose can bring work to a grinding halt. This replacement B-Size nut is an essential spare part for your toolbox, allowing you to repair or build custom length fuel gas hoses with confidence. Made from durable brass, it resists corrosion and wear, ensuring that your connections stay tight and leak-free even in tough shop environments.
Safety is built into the design of this nut. It features the standard 9/16"-18 Left-Hand thread required for all acetylene and fuel gas connections (CGA-023). The "Left-Hand" designation means you turn it counter-clockwise to tighten, a crucial safety feature that prevents you from accidentally hooking up your fuel line to an oxygen regulator. The nut also sports the signature groove or notch on the hex, giving you a quick visual confirmation that you are grabbing the correct part for your fuel line, not the oxygen line.
Designed to fit standard B-Size hose nipples, this nut slides easily over the ferrule or barb of your hose fitting (sold separately) to clamp securely onto regulators and torch handles. The 11/16" hex size is compatible with standard welder's multi-wrenches or any adjustable wrench you have on hand. Whether you are fixing a leak, replacing an old worn-out hose end, or setting up a new oxy-fuel outfit, this high-quality brass nut provides the professional fit and finish your equipment deserves.
Don't compromise on your gas connections. Using the correct fittings prevents dangerous leaks and ensures consistent gas flow for your flame. This nut is rated for up to 200 PSI, making it more than capable of handling standard acetylene and fuel gas working pressures. It is compatible with all standard B-size fuel gas fittings found on major brands of welding equipment.
