0458198880 - ESAB Gas Hose Ear Clamp Replacement

Keep Your Gas Flowing and Your Hoses Secure

There is nothing worse than being in the middle of a long bead and hearing the hiss of a gas leak, or worse, having your gas hose pop off the back of your machine. The ESAB Gas Nipple Hose Clamp is the simple, effective solution to keep your rig running smooth. Designed to replace those worn-out or broken clips on your gas lines, this part (0458198880) is exactly what you need to lock down your connections.

Why Use a Crimp Clamp?

You might be tempted to grab a zip tie or a hardware store hose clamp, but here is why you shouldn't. Zip ties get brittle and don't seal all the way around. Standard screw clamps are bulky and have that sharp tail that catches on everything—your gloves, your leads, your pants. This ESAB ear clamp is designed to be crimped down tight and stay out of your way. It creates a smooth, tight seal that won't let your shielding gas escape, saving you money on refills and saving your welds from porosity.

Quick and Easy Fix

Installing this clamp is straightforward. Slide it over your hose, push the hose onto the nipple, and use a pair of pincers or end-nippers to crimp the "ear" tight. Once it's on, it's on. It won't vibrate loose like screw clamps can over time. It’s a small part, but it does a big job. Whether you are running a MIG runner or a TIG cooler, keeping your hoses secure means you can focus on the puddle, not on the plumbing.

Genuine ESAB Quality

Don't settle for generic parts that might not fit right. This is the real-deal OEM part from ESAB, meant to fit the specific diameter of their gas and water nipples. It’s tough, rust-resistant, and ready for the shop. Toss a few of these in your toolbox so you aren't left scrambling the next time a hose needs repair.
