OVERVIEW

Double Your Productivity

Stop wasting time swapping regulators and moving heavy cylinders just to get a second torch running. The Western Enterprises WES112 Acetylene Y-Valve is the ultimate shop accessory for welders who need efficiency. This heavy-duty brass splitter lets you hook up two cutting torches, heating tips, or welding handles to a single acetylene tank regulator. Whether you are training a new welder, working on a large fabrication project with a partner, or simply want a cutting torch and a heating torch hooked up simultaneously, this Y-valve makes it happen.

The standout feature of the WES112 is its dual independent valves. You don't have to run both lines at once. If you only need one torch, simply close the valve on the unused side. This gives you complete control right at the splitter, saving you trips back to the cylinder valve. The knobs are easy to turn even with welding gloves on, and they shut off tight to prevent gas leaks. This is a massive upgrade over cheap, non-valved splitters that require you to cap off unused lines or drain the system to change tools.

Built to last, this Y-connection uses standard B-Size fittings (5/8"-18 Left-Hand thread), which is the industry standard for almost all fuel gas hoses. It works perfectly with Acetylene, Propane, and other fuel gases. The solid brass body can take the abuse of a busy garage or job site without cracking or stripping threads. Upgrade your oxy-fuel rig today with the WES112 and experience the convenience of a dual-station setup.

Safety & Compatibility

Safety is paramount when dealing with fuel gases. The WES112 utilizes Left-Hand threads specifically to prevent accidental connection to oxygen lines (which use Right-Hand threads). This simple but effective mechanical safety measure ensures you never mix your gas lines. The precision valves also allow for quick shut-off in case of an issue downstream. Please note: while this splitter allows for two torches, always ensure your regulator and cylinder have sufficient flow capacity to support both tools simultaneously to prevent starving the flame or causing flashbacks.

FAQ

No. The WES112 is designed with Left-Hand (LH) threads, which are the industry standard for fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane. Oxygen fittings use Right-Hand threads, so they will not screw onto this device. You would need the Oxygen version (usually green or marked RH) for oxygen lines.

Yes, the WES112 features two independent precision shut-off valves. You can open or close either side individually, allowing you to use one or two torches as needed without disconnecting hoses.

This unit features B-Size connections, which are 5/8"-18 threads. The inlet is Female LH (to connect to a regulator) and the two outlets are Male LH (to connect to hoses).

Yes, as long as your hoses and other equipment are rated for Propane (Grade T hose), this brass fitting itself is compatible with Propane and other fuel gases that utilize standard B-Size LH connections.

It is highly recommended to use flashback arrestors. While this Y-valve splits the gas, it does not stop flashbacks. You should install arrestors at the torch handle or regulator to ensure safety, especially when running multiple lines.

The WES112 is machined from solid brass, providing excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, which is standard for high-quality gas service fittings.

No, this is designed as a splitter (one source to two outlets). Attempting to use it to combine cylinders (manifolding) without proper check valves and pressure management can be extremely dangerous. Always use proper manifold systems for combining cylinders.
