WES843 - Western Enterprises 843 Cylinder Adapter - CGA-346 to CGA-590

Reliable Gas Connection Solutions with Western Enterprises

The Western Enterprises 843 Cylinder Adapter is an essential component for industrial gas management, specifically designed to bridge the gap between different Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards. This precision-engineered fitting allows operators to connect a regulator with a CGA-590 inlet to a cylinder equipped with a CGA-346 valve. Primarily used for Industrial Air applications, this adapter ensures that your existing equipment remains compatible and functional without the need for costly regulator replacements.

Heavy-Duty Brass Construction

Safety and durability are paramount when dealing with compressed gases. The Western Enterprises 843 is machined from solid brass, offering superior resistance to corrosion and wear. The high-quality material ensures that the threads remain sharp and effective over repeated uses, maintaining a tight, leak-proof seal that is critical for maintaining system pressure and safety. Brass is the industry standard for non-corrosive gas fittings due to its spark resistance and mechanical strength.

Specifications and Safety

This adapter is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for standard high-pressure industrial air cylinders. It is crucial to verify that both the cylinder and the regulator are rated for the same gas service before use. While adapters provide flexibility, they must be used responsibly. The CGA-346 to CGA-590 conversion is specific to air service; users should never attempt to use this adapter for incompatible gases like oxygen or fuel gases, as this could create hazardous conditions.
