FAQ
The thread size is .830"-14 NGO, Right-Hand Female, which is the standard for CGA-320 connections.
Yes, CGA-320 connections typically require a flat washer or gasket between the nipple and the valve face to create a gas-tight seal. The nut itself secures the connection but does not form the primary seal.
This nut is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for standard high-pressure Carbon Dioxide cylinders.
No, this nut is specific to CGA-320 for Carbon Dioxide. Argon and Nitrogen typically use CGA-580 connections, which have different thread specifications to prevent cross-connection.
It is machined from high-quality brass, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
The nut features a 1-1/8" hex design, so a 1-1/8" wrench or a large adjustable wrench is required for installation.
According to the manufacturer specifications, this specific component is not UL listed, but it is manufactured to CGA standards.
