FAQ
The B-40 bushing features a CGA-510 connection on one side and a 1/4" NPT Female thread on the other.
No, this bushing is designed for CGA-510 connections, which are typically used for fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane. Oxygen fittings use different CGA standards (like CGA-540) to prevent cross-connection.
CGA-510 connections generally utilize a Left-Hand thread (POL) to distinguish fuel gas lines from other gases.
It is machined from high-quality brass, offering durability and spark resistance suitable for fuel gas applications.
The fitting is rated for pressures up to 500 PSIG, which is sufficient for standard Acetylene and Propane cylinder pressures.
The B-40 is typically a metal-to-metal sealing fitting or relies on the NPT taper for sealing. Check if your specific CGA-510 connection requires a separate washer, though the bushing itself is usually a solid brass adaptor.
The Western Enterprises B-40 is manufactured in the United States.
Yes, the 1/4" NPT Female side is compatible with any standard 1/4" NPT Male pipe fitting.
