The Western Enterprises B-53 Adaptor Bushing is a critical component designed for the safe and efficient management of compressed oxygen systems. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial, laboratory, and welding environments, this adaptor facilitates a secure connection between CGA-540 cylinder valves and 3/4-inch NPT piping systems. Manufactured from high-quality brass, the B-53 ensures exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term installations in manifold systems and gas distribution networks.
Safety is paramount when handling high-pressure oxygen, and the Western Enterprises B-53 is built to perform under pressure. With a maximum pressure rating of 3000 PSIG, this valve outlet adaptor provides the structural integrity necessary to handle full cylinder pressure without compromising safety. The precision-machined threads—specifically the .903"-14 NGO Right Hand Male thread for the CGA-540 side and the standard 3/4" NPT Male thread for the piping side—ensure a tight, leak-free seal when properly installed. The 1-1/8" hex body allows for substantial torque application during installation, ensuring a secure fit that resists vibration and thermal expansion cycles common in industrial settings.
This product is proudly made in the United States, adhering to strict Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards. The specific designation of CGA-540 is the industry standard for oxygen connections in the US and Canada, preventing accidental cross-connections with incompatible gases such as fuel gases or inert gases. This feature is a critical safety control in any facility managing multiple gas types. Whether you are constructing a new central gas system, repairing an existing manifold, or configuring a custom filling station, the Western Enterprises B-53 offers the reliability and compliance required for professional gas handling.
In addition to its primary function as a manifold adaptor, this bushing is versatile enough for use in various custom fabrication setups where a transition to a rigid pipe thread is required from a standard oxygen fitting. Its robust brass construction not only ensures mechanical strength but also provides spark resistance, a necessary property for components used in oxygen-enriched environments. Trust Western Enterprises for your gas equipment needs and ensure your operations run smoothly with high-quality, dependable fittings.
