998387 - ESAB Brass Inlet Nipple 1/4 NPT Male CGA 024

Precision Brass Inlet Nipple for Gas Regulation

The ESAB 998387 Inlet Nipple is a critical component designed for the maintenance and assembly of industrial gas regulators and manifold systems. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this nipple is engineered to withstand the pressures and environmental conditions typical of welding and industrial gas applications. Its primary function is to serve as the bridge between the gas regulator body and the cylinder connection nut, ensuring a streamlined path for gas flow.

This specific model features a 1/4-inch National Pipe Thread Male (NPTM) connection on one end, which is a standard size for many regulator bodies and manifold blocks. The opposing end is designed to the CGA 024 specification, ensuring compatibility with corresponding nuts and cylinder valves intended for this configuration. The precision machining of the threads ensures a tight, leak-free seal when properly installed with thread sealant or tape, which is paramount for safety in high-pressure gas environments.

Professionals in the gas industry rely on genuine ESAB parts to maintain the integrity of their equipment. Using the correct inlet nipple prevents gas leaks, pressure drops, and potential equipment damage. Whether you are repairing a damaged regulator or building a custom gas distribution manifold, the ESAB 998387 provides the durability and fitment accuracy required for professional results.
