Threaded Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas
Use these fittings to connect welding hose to pressure regulators and torches. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.
Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.
- Maximum Pressure: 200 psi @ 72° F

Hose Crimping Tool and Fitting Sets for Compressed Gas
Sets contain a crimping tool and a variety of fittings, nuts, and ferrules so you can connect pressure regulators, torches, and other components of your welding system. Fittings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Barbed adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to pressure regulators or torches. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut so you can make a threaded hose connection.
Barbed connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose. Slide the barbed end into welding hose and use a hose ferrule and the crimping tool to secure the fitting to hose.
Threaded connectors let you attach threaded welding hose to pressure regulators and torches.

45° Flared Fittings for Copper and Brass Tubing
- Temperature Range: -65° to 250° F
- Tubing: Use with seamless brass and copper that meets ASTM B280
No sleeve is required to assemble these fittings, which makes for a faster, more convenient installation compared to 37° flared fittings. They require a nut (sold separately) for each tube end. Fittings are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Mineral Oil, Refrigerant, Water; except adapters for 1/8" and 1" tube OD are not for use with fuel oil
- Specifications Met: See table
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Mineral Oil, Refrigerant, Water; except nuts for 1" tube OD are not for use with fuel oil
- Specifications Met: SAE J512, SAE J513, UL Listed; except nuts for 1" tube OD meet SAE J512 and SAE J513 only
Brass Low-Pressure Barbed Tube Fittings for Air and Water
Made of brass, these fittings resist corrosion from water and are more durable than plastic and aluminum fittings. Use them for low-pressure HVAC systems, drain lines, and other fluid transfer applications, as well as air lines where water vapor and condensate form. The barbs tightly grip tubing for a secure hold. For the best grip, make sure your tubing is squarely cut.
UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads with gasket provide extra protection against leaks. Also known as O-ring boss threads.

Grease Fittings
Thread these fittings into motors, bearings, engine blocks, and other machinery to create a lubrication point. They’re also known as hydraulic grease fittings.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. Brass fittings resist corrosion better than zinc-plated steel fittings. 303 stainless steel fittings are more corrosion resistant than brass fittings and have good chemical resistance.
Fittings with a check valve prevent grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.

Button-Head Grease Fittings
Often used on earth movers, mining equipment, and other heavy machinery, these fittings have a T-shaped top that holds the dispensing tip in place so it won’t pop off when adding grease. They're best for machinery requiring high volumes of grease because they let more grease pass through than standard grease fittings, thanks to a larger opening. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
