WES134 - Western Enterprises 134 Oxygen Regulator Outlet Bushing 1/4 NPT x A-Size

Western Enterprises 134 Oxygen Regulator Outlet Bushing

The Western Enterprises 134 Outlet Bushing is a critical component for professionals requiring precise gas management in industrial and laboratory settings. Designed to adapt standard regulator ports to specific hose requirements, this fitting converts a 1/4-inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) female port into an "A" Size (3/8"-24) male outlet. This specific configuration is tailored for Oxygen service, utilizing Right-Hand (RH) threads to comply with safety standards and prevent accidental cross-connection with fuel gas lines.

Constructed from high-grade free-cutting brass, this bushing offers superior durability and resistance to deformation under torque. The precision machining ensures clean threads that engage smoothly, reducing the risk of galling or cross-threading during installation. For gas distribution systems, maintaining leak-tight integrity is paramount; the NPT side of this bushing is designed to seal effectively with the application of an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape, while the A-Size flare side provides a mechanical seal against the hose nut without the need for additional compounds.

This component is particularly useful in specialized applications such as HVAC brazing kits, jewelry manufacturing, and light-duty maintenance where smaller, lighter "A" size hoses are preferred over standard "B" size hoses. By enabling the use of these lighter hoses on standard regulators, the Western Enterprises 134 enhances operator comfort and reduces fatigue during delicate tasks. Trust in Western Enterprises' reputation for quality and compliance with Compressed Gas Association (CGA) specifications for all your gas control needs.
