The Western Enterprises 615-PT is a premium replacement nipple designed for CGA-580 connections, serving as a critical component in the safe and efficient handling of inert gases. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), this nipple is compatible with Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen gas systems. It is an essential part for maintaining the integrity of gas regulators, manifolds, and distribution systems found in industrial, medical, and laboratory environments.
What sets the 615-PT apart is its "Soft Tip" design. Unlike traditional brass nipples that rely on metal-to-metal contact to form a seal, this unit incorporates a specialized insert at the seating surface. This soft tip allows the nipple to conform to the mating surface of the cylinder valve, creating a positive, leak-proof seal even if there are minor imperfections or scratches on the valve face. This feature is particularly valuable in high-volume operations where cylinders are frequently swapped, as it ensures a reliable connection every time without requiring excessive torque.
Constructed from high-quality brass, the 615-PT offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion. The precision machining ensures a perfect fit with standard CGA-580 nuts, facilitating smooth assembly and disassembly. By reducing the force needed to achieve a seal, this nipple helps prolong the lifespan of both the regulator nut and the cylinder valve threads, ultimately reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Whether you are repairing an existing regulator or assembling a custom gas manifold, the Western Enterprises 615-PT provides the reliability and performance required for professional gas control applications.
Safety is paramount when dealing with compressed gases. A compromised connection can lead to gas loss, process contamination, or safety hazards. The 615-PT's superior sealing capability minimizes these risks, making it a trusted choice for professionals who demand the best in gas equipment components.
