Description

Ensure the safety and integrity of your gas welding equipment with the Oetiker 18500106 Welding Hose Repair Kit. This essential 81-piece kit provides a comprehensive solution for repairing the hose endings that attach to acetylene and oxygen welding tanks. Containing genuine Oetiker 2-Ear and Twin Ear clamps, specialized brass gas fittings, and a pair of Standard Jaw Pincers, this kit is indispensable for welders, maintenance professionals, and workshops across the UK requiring reliable on-site hose repairs.

The Oetiker 18500106 kit is meticulously assembled to address the specific needs of welding hose maintenance. Gas welding involves handling flammable gases under pressure, making secure and correct hose connections paramount for safety and performance. This kit includes high-quality, zinc-plated carbon steel Oetiker 2-Ear and Twin Ear clamps, known for their strong, uniform clamping force. The 2-Ear clamps are particularly effective as they offer nearly double the clamping range of single-ear clamps and can better accommodate thermal and vibrational expansion common in welding environments.

Crucially, this repair kit comes with a selection of precision-machined brass fittings. These include specific Oxygen "B" Right-Hand thread nuts and Acetylene "B" Left-Hand thread nuts, ensuring correct and safe connections to gas regulators and torches, alongside various nipples and hose menders. Using the correct, gas-specific fittings is vital to prevent leaks and dangerous mismatches. The included Oetiker Standard Jaw Pincers allow for proper installation of the ear clamps, creating a secure and lasting repair. This entire solution is presented in a durable case for easy storage and portability to the job site.
