OVERVIEW

Reliable Acetylene Hose Connections with Western Enterprises WES31

In the world of industrial gas distribution and welding, the integrity of your connections is paramount. The Western Enterprises WES31 Hose Coupler is a premium brass fitting designed to seamlessly connect two B-size acetylene or fuel gas hoses. Manufactured to strict tolerances, this coupler features a Male x Male configuration with 9/16"-18 UNF Left Hand (LH) threads. This specific threading is a critical safety standard in the industry, ensuring that fuel gas lines cannot be accidentally connected to oxygen lines, which utilize right-hand threads. By adhering to these safety protocols, the WES31 helps maintain a secure working environment.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this coupler offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for the harsh environments often found in workshops, shipyards, and manufacturing plants. It is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 PSIG, providing ample capacity for standard oxy-fuel cutting and welding operations. The unit measures 1.25 inches in length and features a 5/8" hex body, allowing for easy tightening with standard wrenches. Whether you are extending your reach across a large fabrication floor or repairing a segmented line, this coupler ensures a leak-free seal and consistent gas flow.
