QC-RHF - Western Enterprises QC-RHF Fuel Gas Quick Connect Set (Regulator-to-Hose)

High-Performance Fuel Gas Connection System

The Western Enterprises QC-RHF Quick Connect set is an essential component for professional oxy-fuel operations, designed to streamline the connection between gas regulators and hoses. Engineered specifically for fuel gases such as acetylene, propane, and propylene, this fitting set incorporates advanced safety features directly into the connection point. The unit is constructed from high-grade solid brass, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to the harsh environments typical of industrial welding and fabrication sites.

Integrated Safety Features

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel applications. The QC-RHF is equipped with a built-in reverse flow check valve. This critical feature prevents the backflow of gases, which is a primary precursor to dangerous flashback events. Additionally, the socket mechanism features an automatic shut-off valve that instantly seals the gas flow when the coupling is disconnected. This prevents hazardous gas leaks during equipment breakdown or changeovers, ensuring a safer workspace for all personnel.

Operational Efficiency

In high-volume production environments or mobile repair operations, time spent on equipment setup and teardown adds up. The QC-RHF eliminates the need for wrenches when connecting hoses to regulators. The precision-machined locking sleeve allows for a secure, leak-proof connection with a simple push-to-connect action. The fittings are color-coded and notched (Left-Hand thread) to prevent cross-connection with oxygen lines, adhering to industry safety standards for gas apparatus.

Specifications and Compatibility

This set is designed for Regulator-to-Hose applications. It features standard B-Size 9/16"-18 Left-Hand threads, making it compatible with the vast majority of industrial fuel gas regulators and hoses. With a maximum working pressure of 200 PSIG, it is suitable for a wide range of cutting, heating, and welding applications.
