WES46 - 5/16 Inch Brass Hose Mender with Round Stop

High-Quality Brass Hose Splicer for Industrial Applications

The Western Enterprises WES46 Brass Hose Splicer is a critical component for maintaining and extending fluid and gas transfer lines in industrial, welding, and laboratory environments. Engineered from high-grade brass, this splicer offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life even under rigorous working conditions. The unit is specifically designed to connect two hoses with a 5/16-inch inner diameter (ID), providing a seamless flow path that minimizes pressure drop and turbulence.

Featuring a precision-machined barbed design on both ends, the WES46 ensures a secure and tight grip on the hose material. When used with appropriate hose clamps or ferrules, the barbs prevent accidental disconnection, maintaining system integrity. The splicer includes a central round stop, which serves as a visual and physical guide to ensure that the hose is inserted to the correct depth on both sides. This feature prevents over-insertion and ensures that the connection is centered, providing a balanced and reliable splice.

With a pressure rating of up to 200 PSIG, this brass splicer is suitable for a wide range of low-to-medium pressure applications. Whether you are repairing a damaged section of hose or extending a line to reach a distant workstation, the WES46 provides a dependable solution. Its robust construction makes it compatible with various media typically used in welding and industrial settings, including water, compressed air, and certain inert gases. The compact design, measuring just over 2 inches in length, allows for installation in tight spaces without adding significant bulk or weight to the hose assembly.

Safety and compliance are paramount in industrial settings. This product is manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance. Users should note that while brass is highly durable, it is essential to verify chemical compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being transported. This splicer is an indispensable tool for maintenance teams, fabricators, and technicians who require reliable hose connections to keep operations running smoothly.
