Western Enterprises 133 Acetylene Regulator Outlet Bushing 1/8 NPT x A-Size LH

Reliable Acetylene Regulator Adaptor for A-Size Hoses

When you are setting up your oxy-fuel rig, having the right connections is the difference between a safe, working torch and a frustrating day in the shop. The Western Enterprises 133 Regulator Outlet Bushing is the part you need when your regulator has a 1/8" NPT port but your hose requires an "A-Size" connection. A-Size fittings are typically found on light-duty welding and brazing equipment, often used in HVAC, jewelry making, and light fabrication. This adaptor bridges the gap, allowing you to customize your regulator setup to fit your specific hose and torch requirements.

Safety is built into the design of this fitting. Because it is intended for Acetylene and other fuel gases, the outlet threads are Left-Handed. This is a universal industry standard that prevents you from accidentally hooking up a fuel hose to an oxygen regulator, a mistake that could be dangerous. You can easily identify the left-hand thread by the notch usually found on the mating nut, or simply by the reverse tightening direction. The bushing is machined from solid brass, which is the material of choice for welding gas equipment due to its spark resistance and durability. It won't rust or corrode easily, even in tough shop environments.

Installation is straightforward. The 1/8" NPT side screws into your regulator or manifold; be sure to use a little gas-rated Teflon tape or thread paste on this end to ensure a gas-tight seal. The other end, the male A-Size thread, connects directly to your hose nut. The 7/16" hex shape gives you a solid grip for your wrench, so you can tighten it down securely without stripping the edges. Whether you are repairing an old regulator with damaged threads or building a custom manifold system for your shop, this Western Enterprises adaptor delivers the quality and fit you expect from a leading American manufacturer.
