B-42 - Western Enterprises B-42 CGA-510 Acetylene Valve Outlet Bushing

Reliable Acetylene Connections with Western Enterprises B-42

The Western Enterprises B-42 CGA-510 Valve Outlet is a critical component for professionals in the welding and industrial gas sectors. Designed to facilitate secure connections for POL Acetylene service, this bushing is engineered with precision and safety in mind. Whether you are setting up a new manifold system, replacing worn cylinder valve components, or configuring a custom gas distribution setup, the B-42 provides the reliability required for handling fuel gases. Manufactured from high-quality brass, it offers excellent durability and resistance to the harsh environments often found in industrial workshops and laboratories.

Precision Engineering and Safety

Safety is paramount when dealing with acetylene, and the B-42 addresses this with its specific thread design. The unit features a .885"-14 NGO Left-Hand (LH) Female thread, which is the standard for CGA-510 connections. This left-hand thread acts as a mechanical safeguard, preventing the accidental connection of incompatible equipment or non-fuel gas lines. On the opposing end, a 1/2" NPT Male thread allows for versatile integration into a wide range of piping, manifolds, and cylinder valves. The threads are machined to tight tolerances to ensure a gas-tight seal that minimizes the risk of leaks.

Robust Construction for Industrial Use

Built to withstand the rigors of daily use, the Western Enterprises B-42 is rated for pressures up to 500 PSIG. This pressure rating ensures that the fitting maintains its integrity even under significant stress. The body of the adaptor is shaped into a 1-1/8" RC Hex, allowing for easy tightening and loosening with standard wrenches without stripping or damaging the exterior. Weighing approximately 0.3 lbs, it is a solid, substantial piece of hardware that reflects the quality associated with US-made gas equipment. From welding stations to laboratory gas supply lines, this CGA-510 outlet is the professional's choice for secure acetylene management.
