Worked perfectly for Argon Gas line connection
Bought this to join two 5/8” male fittings in the gas line between my argon tank and welder. Worked perfectly, no leaks, threaded on smoothly

It has one job and it does it well
I bought this to extend my argon/CO2 tank hose so I don't have to have a huge tank on a little cart. I have a 20ft and 15ft hose attached together with this coupling and it works great no leaks seems rugged so I have no complaints.

Works great
This fitting allowed me to make a pigtail to convert my welder's hose-bib output to B-size IG. I can now run a regular argon line to my tank.

Quick connection and no leaks
Connection is air tight and quick. It makes using a remote bottle with a welder easy-to-use.

Very nice
Great to join two shielding gas lines

Works although a little on the thin side
Works fine but I have doubts it will hold up if over tightened.
