WES55 - 3/16 Inch Brass Hose Barb Splicer Repair Fitting

Reliable Industrial Hose Repair Solutions

In the demanding environment of industrial manufacturing and gas distribution, equipment downtime can be costly. The Western Enterprises WES55 Hose Splicer is an essential component for maintenance teams and facility managers looking to maintain the integrity of their pneumatic and gas delivery systems. Designed to connect two pieces of 3/16-inch inner diameter (ID) hose, this splicer is engineered from high-quality brass, offering superior durability and resistance to corrosion compared to plastic or aluminum alternatives.

Brass fittings are the industry standard for general-purpose hose repair because of their strength and machinability. The WES55 features precision-cut barbs that bite effectively into the hose liner, creating a seal that resists pull-out and leakage even under working pressures of up to 200 PSI. This pressure rating makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including compressed air lines, inert gas delivery, and water cooling systems commonly found in fabrication shops.

Using a hose splicer is a sustainable and cost-effective practice. Rather than discarding a long length of hose due to a single puncture or cut, the damaged section can be excised and the remaining lengths joined seamlessly with the WES55. This not only reduces material waste but also significantly lowers operational expenses over time. The fitting is designed to be used with appropriate hose clamps or crimped ferrules (sold separately) to ensure the maximum pressure rating is safely achieved.

Whether you are maintaining a fleet of pneumatic tools or managing gas manifold distribution lines, the Western Enterprises WES55 provides the reliability you expect from a leading manufacturer in the gas control industry. Its compact design ensures it does not add significant bulk to the hose line, minimizing snag hazards and maintaining the flexibility required for dynamic work environments.
