The Western Enterprises 133 Regulator Outlet Bushing is a critical component for industrial gas management systems, specifically designed to adapt regulator bodies to standard hose connections. Manufactured from high-grade free-cutting brass, this bushing ensures structural integrity and resistance to deformation under torque. It serves as an interface between the regulator's internal port and the external delivery system, converting a standard 1/8-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) female port into a 3/8-inch-24 Unified Fine (UNF) Left-Hand male outlet, commonly referred to as an "A-Size" connection.
In the realm of industrial gas safety, thread direction is paramount. This component features left-hand threads on the outlet side, a mandatory safety standard for fuel gases such as Acetylene to prevent accidental cross-connection with oxygen or inert gas lines (which utilize right-hand threads). The 1/8" NPT male end is tapered, requiring a thread sealant (such as PTFE tape or paste approved for gas service) to create a pressure-tight seal against the regulator body. Conversely, the A-Size outlet relies on a mechanical seating surface compatible with standard A-Size hose nuts, ensuring a leak-proof connection without the need for additional sealants on the flare.
With a maximum pressure rating of 200 PSIG, this bushing is engineered for low-to-medium pressure fuel gas applications. The component features a 7/16" hex section, allowing for precise installation using standard tooling. Its compact length of 1.184 inches ensures a low profile, minimizing leverage on the regulator body and reducing the risk of impact damage. Whether for OEM assembly or MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) applications, the Western Enterprises 133 provides the reliability and compliance required for professional gas distribution setups.
