OVERVIEW

Premium Brass Regulator Outlet Bushing for Industrial Oxygen Systems

The Western Enterprises 144 Regulator Outlet Bushing is a critical component for industrial gas management, designed to facilitate secure and reliable connections between gas regulators and downstream equipment. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this adaptor is engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while maintaining a leak-tight seal. It specifically functions to convert a 1/2-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) female port on a regulator body into a standard B-Size 9/16-inch - 18 UNF Right Hand male outlet. This conversion is essential for integrating standard oxygen hoses and equipment with regulators that utilize NPT port configurations.

Safety and compliance are paramount in gas distribution. The Western Enterprises 144 adheres to CGA-022 standards, designating it suitable for Oxygen service. The right-hand thread direction acts as a safety mechanism, preventing accidental cross-connection with fuel gas lines which typically utilize left-hand threads. With a pressure rating of 200 PSIG, this bushing is robust enough for standard low-to-medium pressure oxygen applications found in laboratories, welding shops, and manufacturing facilities. The unit features a substantial 7/8-inch hex section, allowing technicians to apply the necessary torque for a secure fit without rounding off the edges.

Western Enterprises is a leader in the compressed gas equipment industry, and this US-made fitting reflects their commitment to quality. The brass material offers excellent resistance to corrosion and sparking, making it a safe choice for oxygen-enriched environments. Whether you are assembling a new manifold system or replacing worn components on an existing regulator, the model 144 provides the precision and reliability required for professional gas handling.
