AH6 - 6ft Inert Gas Hose Black PVC with Standard Fittings

Reliable Shielding Gas Delivery

Ensure a secure and leak-free shielding gas delivery system with the Dixon AH6 6-Foot Black PVC Inert Gas Hose. Designed for professional fabricators and hobbyist welders alike, this hose serves as the critical link between your gas regulator and welding machine. Whether you are performing MIG (GMAW) or TIG (GTAW) welding, maintaining a consistent and uncontaminated flow of shielding gas—such as Argon, Carbon Dioxide, or Helium mixtures—is essential for achieving high-quality welds free from porosity and oxidation.

Durable PVC Construction

Constructed from high-quality black PVC, the AH6 hose offers an excellent balance of durability and maneuverability. Unlike traditional rubber hoses that can be heavy and susceptible to dry rot over extended periods, this PVC variant is lightweight and resistant to common workshop hazards, including abrasion and mild chemical exposure. The material is formulated to resist kinking, ensuring that your gas flow remains uninterrupted even when the hose is bent around corners or equipment. This reliability is crucial during long welding passes where gas interruption could ruin the workpiece.

Standardized Compatibility

The hose comes pre-fitted with standard inert gas connections (typically 5/8"-18 RH male fittings), allowing for immediate installation right out of the box. These factory-crimped fittings ensure a tight, secure seal, preventing costly gas leaks that can drain your cylinder prematurely and affect weld quality. The 6-foot length is the industry standard for setups where the gas cylinder is mounted directly on the welder's cart, providing just enough reach to connect the regulator to the machine without creating a tripping hazard or unnecessary clutter of excess hose.

Application Versatility

This hose is suitable for a wide range of inert gas applications. It is compatible with pure Argon for TIG welding aluminum or stainless steel, C25 (75% Argon / 25% CO2) for MIG welding mild steel, and pure CO2 for flux-cored or short-circuit MIG applications. By replacing old, cracked, or taped-up hoses with the Dixon AH6, you ensure the integrity of your gas shield and the quality of your finished welds.
