WES112 - Acetylene 2-Way Splitter Valve B-Size with Shut-Offs

Professional Gas Distribution Solutions

The Western Enterprises WES112 Valved Y-Connection is a critical component for industrial gas management systems, specifically designed to split a single Acetylene or fuel gas supply into two independent outlets. Manufactured to strict tolerances, this brass fitting ensures a secure, leak-free connection essential for maintaining safety standards in welding and fabrication environments. The unit features a standard B-Size (5/8"-18) Left-Hand (LH) female inlet that connects directly to your regulator or supply hose, branching into two B-Size male LH outlets.

What sets the WES112 apart is the inclusion of precision shut-off valves on each outlet arm. Unlike standard open Y-fittings, this assembly allows operators to isolate one branch without disrupting the flow to the other. This capability is vital for maintenance, changing torch setups, or simply shutting down one station while another remains active. The valves are engineered for smooth operation and positive closure, preventing gas bleed-through and ensuring that the system remains pressurized only where intended.

Constructed from solid brass, the WES112 offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, making it suitable for harsh industrial conditions. It is compatible with all standard fuel gases used in oxy-fuel processes, including Acetylene, Propane, and Propylene, provided the mating hoses and equipment are rated accordingly. By integrating this valved Y-connection into your gas manifold or cylinder setup, you enhance operational flexibility and safety control.

Technical Specifications & Compliance

Western Enterprises is a leader in gas control products, and the WES112 reflects their commitment to quality. The fitting adheres to CGA (Compressed Gas Association) standards for B-Size connections, ensuring universal compatibility with North American welding equipment. The Left-Hand thread design acts as a crucial safety feature, physically preventing the accidental connection of oxygen lines to fuel gas ports, thereby mitigating the risk of dangerous cross-contamination.
