WES810 - CGA-580 to CGA-320 Brass Cylinder Adaptor

Technical Overview of the Western Enterprises WES810 Cylinder Adaptor

The Western Enterprises WES810 is a high-specification cylinder adaptor designed to facilitate the interconnection of gas equipment with differing Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards. Specifically, this unit adapts a cylinder equipped with a CGA-580 valve—commonly used for inert gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen—to accept a regulator or pigtail designed for a CGA-320 connection, which is the standard for Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting ensures mechanical integrity and compatibility with the specified gas services.

Engineered for industrial environments, the WES810 features a robust 1-1/8" Hex body, allowing for secure torque application during installation. The unit is rated for a maximum working pressure of 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for standard high-pressure cylinders. The adaptor features a CGA-580 Male thread on the cylinder side and a CGA-320 Male thread on the regulator side. It is important to note that while this adaptor enables cross-compatibility, it is intended for temporary use and should not be utilized as a permanent installation solution. Users must ensure that the gas service being adapted is compatible with the downstream equipment.

Manufactured in the United States, the WES810 adheres to strict dimensional tolerances to ensure a leak-tight seal. The brass composition offers excellent resistance to corrosion and sparking, essential safety features in welding and laboratory environments. This component is a critical tool for MRO professionals who manage diverse gas inventories and require flexibility in equipment configuration.
