WES830 - Western Enterprises Cylinder Adaptor - CGA-580 Male to CGA-346 Male

Reliable Gas Connection Solutions with Western Enterprises

The Western Enterprises WES830 Cylinder Adaptor is an essential component for industrial gas management, designed to bridge the gap between incompatible cylinder valves and regulator connections. Specifically engineered to convert a CGA-580 cylinder outlet to accept a CGA-346 regulator connection, this adaptor is a critical tool for facilities utilizing Argon, Helium, or Nitrogen/Air systems. Manufactured from high-quality brass, the WES830 offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments.

Safety is paramount when dealing with compressed gases, and Western Enterprises delivers with a robust design rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG. The precision machining of the threads ensures a tight, leak-proof seal, minimizing the risk of gas loss or hazardous leaks. This adaptor allows operators to utilize existing regulators with different CGA standards, providing flexibility and cost savings by reducing the need to purchase new regulators for every cylinder type. However, it is important to note that adaptors are intended for temporary use and should not replace permanent, dedicated equipment installations where feasible.

The unit features a 1-1/8" RC Hex body, making it easy to install and remove using standard wrenches. Its substantial length of 3.29 inches provides ample clearance for connecting hoses and other equipment without obstruction. Whether you are managing a laboratory gas supply, an industrial welding station, or a specialized manufacturing process, the WES830 ensures that your equipment connects seamlessly. Trust in the quality of American-made gas fittings to maintain the efficiency and safety of your operations.

Key Safety Reminder: Always ensure that the gas service of the cylinder matches the intended use of the regulator and downstream equipment. While this adaptor physically connects CGA-580 and CGA-346 components, the operator must verify that the gas properties (inert vs. air) are compatible with the entire system to prevent contamination or safety hazards.
