176528 - Miller 176528 Brass Barbed Elbow Fitting 1/2" Tubing x 1/2" NPT

Genuine Miller 176528 Brass Barbed Elbow Fitting

The Miller 176528 is a premium brass barbed elbow fitting designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Engineered as a direct OEM replacement part, this fitting is essential for maintaining the integrity of your Miller welding equipment's fluid or gas systems. Whether you are repairing a coolant line or configuring a gas delivery setup, this component ensures a precise fit and reliable performance that aftermarket alternatives often fail to match.

Constructed from high-grade brass, this fitting offers excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and mechanical wear. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its durability and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations without degrading. The 90-degree elbow configuration is particularly useful for routing hoses in tight or awkward spaces within the machine chassis, preventing kinks that could restrict flow and reduce system efficiency. By maintaining proper flow dynamics, this fitting helps protect critical internal components from overheating or starvation.

The connection interface features a 1/2-inch hose barb on one end and a 1/2-inch Male NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread on the other. The barbed end is designed to grip flexible tubing securely, especially when used with a hose clamp, creating a tight seal that resists vibration and pressure spikes. The NPT threaded end ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard pipe fittings and ports, allowing for versatile integration into existing systems. Trust in genuine Miller parts to keep your equipment running at peak performance levels, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Regular maintenance of your welding machine's plumbing and gas lines is crucial for safety and weld quality. Leaking fittings can lead to coolant loss, which may overheat the torch or power source, or gas leaks that compromise shielding coverage. Replacing worn or damaged fittings with the Miller 176528 restores the system's integrity, ensuring that your operations continue smoothly and safely.
