0312-0044 - Victor CGA-510 to CGA-300 Acetylene Cylinder Adaptor

Precision Brass Adaptor for Acetylene Gas Systems

The Victor 0312-0044 is a specialized gas equipment adaptor designed to facilitate the connection between different compressed gas association (CGA) standards. Specifically engineered for acetylene service, this fitting converts a CGA-510 Male connection to a CGA-300 Female connection. This allows operators to utilize regulators or manifold systems designed for CGA-300 (Commercial Acetylene) with cylinders equipped with the standard CGA-510 (POL) valves, or vice versa depending on the specific configuration of the mating parts.

Manufactured from high-quality solid brass, this adaptor offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for components exposed to industrial environments and reactive gases. Brass is the material of choice for oxygen and fuel gas fittings due to its non-sparking properties and mechanical strength. The precision-machined threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal when tightened to the appropriate torque specifications, minimizing the risk of gas leaks which is critical for safety in welding and cutting operations.

In the complex landscape of industrial gas fittings, having the correct adaptor can prevent downtime and eliminate the need for replacing expensive regulators. The Victor 0312-0044 bridges the gap between different cylinder valve standards that may be encountered in the field or within specific supply chains. It is important to note that CGA-510 is a Left-Hand thread (typically indicated by notches on the nut, though this is a male adaptor piece) while CGA-300 is a Right-Hand thread. Users must be aware of these thread directions during installation to prevent thread damage.

This component is part of Victor's extensive line of gas control equipment, known globally for quality and reliability. Whether for maintenance, repair, or operations (MRO) in heavy industry, or for specialized fabrication setups, this adaptor ensures that your gas delivery system remains versatile and functional. Always ensure that the gas service is compatible before using any adaptor, as mixing incompatible gases can be hazardous.
