0966-0003 - Victor 0966-0003 B-Size Fuel Hose Nut, 9/16-18 LH

Reliable Hose Repair with the Victor 0966-0003

Don't let a stripped or rounded-off nut put your cutting torch out of commission. The Victor 0966-0003 is the standard replacement brass nut for your fuel gas hoses. Whether you are running Acetylene, Propane, or Propylene, this B-Size nut is the exact part you need to connect your hose to the regulator or the torch handle. It features the industry-standard 9/16"-18 thread size that fits almost all standard welding gear found in North American shops.

Safety First: You'll notice the distinctive "notch" cut into the corners of the hex. In the welding world, that notch means "Stop and Think." It indicates a Left-Hand thread, meaning you turn it counter-clockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen. This simple but effective design feature prevents you from accidentally screwing a fuel hose onto an oxygen regulator, a mistake that could be dangerous. Always check for the notch before you start wrenching.

Built for the Job: Made from solid brass, this nut is tough enough to withstand the daily grind of the shop floor but soft enough to seat properly without galling the threads on your expensive regulators and torches. It is designed to slide over the hose nipple (tailpiece) and crimp ferrule, securing the assembly to your equipment. If you are repairing a leak or building a custom-length hose extension, having a few of these 0966-0003 nuts in your toolbox is a smart move.

This part is compatible with 1/4" and 3/16" hose fittings, which are the most common sizes for hand cutting and welding. Keep your gear in top shape and ensure leak-free connections with genuine Victor parts. Remember, a tight seal is the first step to a safe weld.
