15778 - Miller CGA 580 Brass Tailpiece, 3-Inch Length

Precision Brass Connection for Inert Gas Systems

The Miller 15778 Tailpiece is a critical component for industrial gas management systems, specifically designed for use with CGA 580 connections. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this tailpiece ensures structural integrity and resistance to deformation under the high pressures typically associated with compressed gas cylinders. The CGA 580 standard is the designated connection for inert gases, including Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium, making this component essential for TIG welding setups, purging applications, and laboratory gas distribution manifolds.

With an Overall Length (OAL) of 3.0 inches, this tailpiece provides specific dimensional advantages. In complex manifold assemblies or regulator configurations where spacing is tight or where a standard length nipple might not provide adequate clearance for wrench access, the extended 3.0-inch profile facilitates easier installation and maintenance. The precision machining of the seating surface ensures a gas-tight seal when mated with the corresponding cylinder valve or manifold block, minimizing the risk of costly gas leaks and ensuring the safety of the operator.

In professional MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, using genuine OEM parts like the Miller 15778 guarantees compatibility and performance. Generic fittings may suffer from poor tolerance control, leading to thread galling or imperfect seating. This Miller component is engineered to meet strict industry standards, providing peace of mind for facility managers and welding engineers who demand reliability in their gas delivery infrastructure. Whether replacing a worn component on a heavy-duty regulator or fabricating a custom gas blending system, this brass tailpiece delivers the durability required for industrial service.

Proper gas distribution is the backbone of consistent welding quality. By utilizing the correct tailpiece, operators ensure that shielding gas flow remains uninterrupted and free from atmospheric contamination. This component is compatible with standard CGA 580 nuts (sold separately) and is suitable for use in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions found in fabrication shops and manufacturing plants.
