OVERVIEW

Reliable Regulator Connections for Safe Welding

When you are out in the field or working in the shop, a stripped or damaged regulator outlet can bring your entire project to a halt. The Western Enterprises 135 Outlet Bushing is the professional's choice for repairing or adapting acetylene regulators. Designed to convert the standard port on your regulator to fit "A-Size" hoses, this solid brass adapter is built to last. Whether you are refurbishing an old Victor-style regulator or building a custom setup for a portable torch kit, this part ensures you get the gas flow you need without the leaks.

Safety is the number one priority in welding, and this fitting is designed with that in mind. It features Left-Hand threads on the hose connection side, a universal standard for Acetylene and other fuel gases. This distinct threading ensures that you can never accidentally hook up an oxygen hose to your fuel line, preventing dangerous cross-connections. The "A-Size" (3/8"-24) thread is smaller than the standard "B-Size" found on heavy-duty rigs, making this adapter perfect for light-duty torches often used in HVAC, plumbing, and detailed metal art.

Don't settle for cheap, imported fittings that might crack or strip under pressure. Western Enterprises is known for producing top-tier brass fittings that stand up to the daily abuse of the welding environment. The WES135 is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring that your hose nut spins on smoothly and seats perfectly every time. This secure connection helps maintain consistent gas pressure at the torch, resulting in a stable flame and better weld quality.

Installation is straightforward. Simply apply a small amount of gas-rated Teflon tape or thread paste to the 1/4" NPT end and thread it into your regulator or manifold. Tighten it down with a wrench for a permanent, leak-proof seal. The outlet side is ready to accept your A-Size hose nut immediately. Keep a few of these in your toolbox to ensure you are never stuck with a broken regulator and no way to fix it. With the Western Enterprises 135, you are investing in safety, reliability, and professional performance.
