OVERVIEW

Reliable Oxygen Flow Control with Western Enterprises

The Western Enterprises WES205 Brass Body Valve is a precision-engineered component designed to facilitate the safe and efficient control of oxygen in various industrial, welding, and laboratory environments. Manufactured from high-grade brass, this valve is built to withstand the rigors of daily use while resisting corrosion and wear. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, making it a cost-effective choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who demand reliability in their gas distribution systems.

This valve is specifically rated for Oxygen service, adhering to strict safety standards required for handling oxidizers. It features a maximum pressure rating of 200 PSIG, making it suitable for a wide range of low-to-medium pressure applications. The body design is compact, measuring just 1.800 inches in length, which allows for installation in tight spaces often found in gas manifolds or equipment panels. The brass material not only provides structural integrity but also ensures compatibility with non-corrosive gases, maintaining the purity of the gas stream.

Standardized Connections for Easy Integration

Integration into existing systems is seamless thanks to the WES205's standardized connection points. The inlet features a 1/4" NPT Male thread, a common standard in industrial piping, allowing for direct connection to pipes, regulators, or manifold blocks. The outlet is machined with a B-Size 9/16"-18 UNF Right-Hand Male thread, which is the industry standard for oxygen hose connections. This configuration ensures that the valve can be easily fitted with standard oxygen hoses without the need for additional adapters.

FAQ

The Western Enterprises WES205 valve is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 PSIG.

This valve is designed for Oxygen service. It is suitable for non-corrosive gases but is specifically configured with oxygen-compatible connections.

The inlet is a 1/4" NPT Male thread, and the outlet is a B-Size 9/16"-18 UNF Right-Hand Male thread.

No, this valve is rated for 200 PSIG and is intended for line or manifold use, not for direct connection to high-pressure cylinders (which can exceed 2000 PSI).

The valve body is made of brass, ensuring durability and compatibility with oxygen.

Yes, like many brass products, this item carries a Prop 65 warning for lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.

The WES205 valve is manufactured in the United States.

No. While the pressure rating might be sufficient for low-pressure acetylene, the outlet connection (Right-Hand thread) is specific to Oxygen. Acetylene fittings typically use Left-Hand threads to prevent cross-connection.
