Hose barb to quick disconnect fitting

[Grandslam99]

I use two of the three Quick disconnects the water return quick disconnect was included when I purchased the CKSLWHAT-35-QD power/water return connector. One was used on the PP256’s Argon/air connector and the other QD was used with the W300’s Water supply, Blue QD female connector. As in another topic the Everlast Male Quick Disconnects did NOT come with a clamp.

Hi -

You can buy female threaded connections with the appropriate male QD for the water lines from ArcZone. This will allow you to just thread the adaptor directly onto your new torches water lines and then plug directly into the water cooler. The part number is ZHCK-W. Bought 2 back in Feb 2012 for $10 + shipping. These adaptors have left handed threads.

For the gas connection you'll have to cut the threaded end off your new torch gas line and install a barbed QD. You can get these barbed QD's from weldingdirect.com, Part number 501N0114. I couldn't find a right hand female threaded connector with the correct QD on the other end. Arczone has one that looks right for the gas line but it IS NOT. QD is too small (P/N ZHCK-G won't work).

If you need the water thru dinse for the power connection CK-SLWHAT-35 will work. Got mine from arczone.

Hope this helps
