WES82 - Western Enterprises CGA-350 Nut - Hydrogen & Natural Gas - Brass .830-14 NGO LH

Precision-Engineered CGA-350 Brass Nut for Industrial Gas Service

The Western Enterprises WES82 is a high-specification CGA-350 nut designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial gas management. Engineered specifically for use with Hydrogen and Natural Gas (Methane), this component is a critical element in establishing secure, leak-proof connections between gas cylinders and regulators or manifold systems. Manufactured in the United States, this nut adheres strictly to the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) V-1 standards, ensuring universal compatibility with all standard CGA-350 valves and nipples.

Constructed from high-grade free-cutting brass, the WES82 offers excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, essential for long-term service in industrial environments. The nut features a .830"-14 NGO Left-Hand (LH) Female thread profile. The left-hand thread is a crucial safety feature designated for fuel gases, preventing the accidental connection of incompatible gas lines (such as oxygen) to a fuel gas source. The external geometry is a 1-1/8" RC Hex, allowing for secure tightening with standard industrial wrenches to achieve the necessary torque for a high-pressure seal.

With a maximum pressure rating of 3000 PSIG, this nut is capable of handling standard high-pressure cylinder applications safely. It is designed to accommodate a full range of gas service requirements within the CGA-350 designation. Whether used in laboratory settings, welding fabrication shops, or large-scale industrial gas distribution manifolds, the WES82 provides the reliability and precision required for handling volatile gases like hydrogen. Users should note that this product is a component part (nut only) and requires a matching nipple (sold separately) to complete the connection assembly.

Compliance and safety are paramount with the WES82. It is machined to exact tolerances to ensure proper seating and sealing surface engagement. As a brass product, it is robust against physical damage and deformation during repeated use. This product is intended for professional use in sectors including industrial manufacturing, welding, and analytical laboratories where gas purity and system integrity are non-negotiable.
