WES61 - CGA-300 to CGA-510 Acetylene Cylinder Adaptor

Precision Brass Adaptor for Acetylene Gas Systems

The Western Enterprises WES61 Cylinder Adaptor is an essential component for industrial gas management, specifically designed to bridge the gap between different acetylene cylinder valve standards. In the complex world of compressed gas, incompatible threads can bring operations to a halt. This adaptor provides a robust solution by converting a CGA-300 cylinder valve outlet to accept a CGA-510 regulator connection. The CGA-300 standard is commonly found on commercial acetylene cylinders, while CGA-510 is the standard for POL acetylene regulators. By utilizing this adaptor, facilities can maintain flexibility in their gas supply chain without the need to maintain multiple sets of regulators for different cylinder types.

Manufactured from high-quality solid brass, the WES61 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its non-sparking properties and excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring safety in acetylene environments. The unit features a one-piece construction, which significantly reduces the potential for leak paths compared to multi-piece fittings. With a pressure rating of 500 PSIG, it comfortably handles the standard pressures associated with acetylene cylinders, providing a safe margin for operation. The adaptor is precision-machined to ensure tight, secure thread engagement, minimizing the risk of gas loss or safety hazards.

Measuring 1.375 inches in length and featuring a 1-1/16 inch RC hex body, this adaptor is compact yet easy to install using standard wrenches. It is important to note that while this adaptor is a high-quality fitting, cylinder adaptors are designed for temporary connections to facilitate immediate work and should not be used as permanent installations in a piping system. Users must always ensure that the gas service matches the equipment being connected; this specific unit is strictly for Acetylene service. Whether for laboratory setups, welding stations, or general industrial maintenance, the Western Enterprises WES61 ensures that your equipment remains compatible and operational regardless of the cylinder valve style provided by your gas supplier.
