WES82 - CGA-350 Brass Nut for Hydrogen and Natural Gas Regulators

Reliable Connections for Hydrogen and Natural Gas

The Western Enterprises WES82 CGA-350 Nut is a critical component for professionals working with hydrogen and natural gas (methane) systems. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial, laboratory, and welding environments, this nut ensures a secure and leak-proof connection between your gas cylinder valve and the regulator or manifold system. Proper gas distribution hardware is essential for safety and efficiency, and Western Enterprises delivers with a product that meets strict CGA V-1 specifications.

Precision Engineering and Safety

Safety is paramount when handling flammable gases like hydrogen and natural gas. The WES82 is designed with a .830"-14 NGO Left-Hand (LH) female thread. This specific threading direction is a crucial safety feature, physically preventing the accidental connection of fuel gas equipment to incompatible oxidizer or inert gas lines. The nut is machined from high-quality brass, a material chosen for its excellent durability, resistance to sparking, and ability to withstand the wear and tear of frequent cylinder changes. With a pressure rating of 3000 PSIG, this nut is robust enough to handle standard high-pressure cylinders with confidence.

Durability for Industrial Use

In busy industrial settings, equipment must withstand harsh conditions. The brass construction of the WES82 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to other metals, ensuring a long service life even in challenging environments. The 1-1/8" hex shape provides a substantial surface area for wrenches, allowing technicians to apply the necessary torque for a proper seal without rounding off the edges. Whether you are setting up a new gas distribution system or replacing worn components on existing regulators, the Western Enterprises WES82 provides the quality assurance professionals expect.

Key Applications

• Industrial Welding: Essential for fuel gas supply lines in specialized welding and cutting operations.
• Laboratory Research: Provides reliable connections for high-purity hydrogen used in chromatography and other analytical instruments.
• Energy Sectors: Suitable for natural gas manifold systems and testing equipment.

Invest in the Western Enterprises WES82 CGA-350 Nut for a connection you can trust. Its combination of precise machining, robust material, and adherence to safety standards makes it the ideal choice for your hydrogen and natural gas requirements.
