OVERVIEW

Adapt Your Regulator with the Western Enterprises 134 Bushing

When you are setting up a portable welding or brazing rig, having the right connections is the difference between a safe, working setup and a frustrating delay. The Western Enterprises 134 is a specialized outlet bushing designed to adapt your oxygen regulator to fit "A" Size hoses. If you have a regulator with a standard 1/4" NPT output port but need to run a smaller, lighter 3/8"-24 hose (common in light-duty torch kits and HVAC setups), this is the part you need.

Built for Safety and Durability
Made from solid brass, this adapter is built to withstand the rigors of the shop and the field. It features a 1/4" Male NPT thread on one end to screw directly into your regulator body, and a 3/8"-24 Male Right-Hand thread on the other to accept your oxygen hose. The Right-Hand thread is a crucial safety feature, ensuring that oxygen lines cannot be accidentally connected to fuel gas lines (which use Left-Hand threads), keeping you safe on the job.

Ideal for Light-Duty Applications
"A" Size fittings are typically found on light-duty equipment used for electronics repair, jewelry making, and refrigeration line repair. Using this bushing allows you to utilize a full-size industrial regulator with these precision torches, giving you better pressure control and longer service life compared to disposable tank regulators. Simply apply a little thread tape to the NPT side, tighten it into your regulator, and you are ready to connect your A-size oxygen hose.

FAQ

A-Size fittings are smaller (3/8"-24 thread) and typically used for light-duty applications. B-Size fittings are larger (9/16"-18 thread) and are the standard for most industrial welding and cutting equipment.

No. This fitting has Right-Hand (RH) threads, which are designated for Oxygen or inert gases. Fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane require Left-Hand (LH) threads (typically notched) to prevent safety hazards.

You should use an oxygen-safe thread sealant or PTFE tape on the 1/4" NPT end that screws into the regulator. Do NOT use sealant on the A-Size flare end, as it seals mechanically.

It is manufactured from high-quality brass, which is the industry standard for oxygen fittings due to its spark resistance and durability.

No, this is a bushing for a regulator outlet or rigid pipe connection. To connect two hoses, you would need a hose coupler.

It is compatible with any regulator that has a 1/4" NPT Female outlet port. Always check your regulator's specifications to confirm the port size before purchasing.

While NPT fittings can handle high pressures, A-Size connections are typically rated for up to 200 PSIG, which is standard for delivery pressure in light-duty oxy-fuel applications.
