Hose Connector Gas - Otto Frei
Meco Midget Torch

Hose Connector Gas

Part # 114.196 14 In Stock Weight -- lb / -- g
$8.00
Select Size: 3/8" Nut 3/16" Nipple

Gas hose connectors for connecting torches to cut hoses using standard USA A or B fittings. The threaded nut end connects to the torch inlet, while the nipple end is secured to the gas hose with a hose clamp. Two fitting standards are available: the USA Standard A fitting (3/8" nut) and the USA Standard B fitting (9/16" nut). Nipple sizes refer to the inside diameter of the hose they are recommended for — the nipple's actual outer diameter is larger than the listed ID.

Meco Midget Torch owners: Use part 114.196, the 3/8" USA Standard A fitting with 3/16" nipple. This is the only A-fitting connector available and is designed specifically for the Meco Midget.
