Value Collection QC-HTPR Hose to Hose Quick Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION QC-HTPR is a paired hose-to-hose quick connector designed for gas welding and cutting setups. It features a 9/16 inch NPTF thread and is configured as a right-hand (RH) thread connection for oxygen and a left-hand (LH) thread connection for fuel gas, following standard torch hose conventions. The 3/8 inch internal diameter accommodates typical welding hose sizes. This connector allows for fast, tool-free hose connection and disconnection, reducing downtime during torch changeovers. It is intended for installation by welders, pipefitters, and gas equipment technicians working with oxy-fuel systems.

This quick connector pair is suited for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, and brazing applications in fabrication shops, plumbing and HVAC service work, and general metalworking environments. The RH oxygen and LH fuel thread configuration prevents accidental cross-connection between oxygen and fuel hoses, which is a standard safety requirement in oxy-fuel torch systems. The connector is sold as a matched pair, making it appropriate for replacing worn or damaged quick-connect fittings on existing hose assemblies without purchasing components separately.

Key Features

• Paired connector set with RH thread for oxygen and LH thread for fuel gas
• 9/16 inch NPTF thread for secure, leak-resistant hose connections
• 3/8 inch internal diameter compatible with standard welding hose
• Hose-to-hose configuration for inline quick-connect installation
• Thread handedness follows industry standard to prevent cross-connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fitting for oxy-fuel hose assemblies using 9/16 inch NPTF hose fittings with 3/8 inch internal diameter hose.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welder, pipefitter, or gas equipment technician familiar with oxy-fuel system assembly. Shut off all gas supply valves and bleed hose pressure before disconnecting or replacing fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for oxygen service on RH fittings only — never use petroleum-based compounds on oxygen-side connections. Verify all connections are leak-free with an approved leak detection solution before resuming torch operation.
