OVERVIEW

Durable Plug for Welding Gas Systems

When you are setting up a gas manifold or modifying your welding equipment, you need fittings that won't let you down. The Western Enterprises P-4SS is a 1/4-inch Male NPT plug made from solid stainless steel, offering a rugged solution for sealing ports on regulators, flowmeters, and piping systems. Unlike brass, stainless steel stands up to tough shop conditions and resists corrosion, ensuring your equipment remains safe and leak-free for the long haul.

Leaks in a shielding gas system can lead to weld defects and wasted money. This plug features precision-cut threads that mesh tightly with female NPT ports to prevent gas loss. It is an essential component for any welder's spare parts kit, perfect for capping off auxiliary ports on manifolds or temporarily sealing lines during maintenance. The hex head allows you to tighten it down securely with a crescent wrench or fixed wrench, giving you peace of mind that the seal will hold under pressure.

Western Enterprises is a leader in gas control products, and this P-4SS plug reflects their commitment to quality. Whether you are working with Argon, CO2, Oxygen, or mixed gases, this stainless steel fitting provides the compatibility and strength required for professional welding setups. Upgrade your fittings to stainless steel for a cleaner, longer-lasting gas delivery system.
