WES1453 - CGA-410 to CGA-510 Acetylene Cylinder Adaptor

Seamlessly Connect Your Acetylene Equipment

In the world of welding and industrial gas, compatibility issues between cylinders and regulators can bring work to a grinding halt. The Western Enterprises WES1453 Cylinder Adaptor is the essential link for welders and fabricators who find themselves with an Air Liquide style acetylene tank (CGA 410) but a standard North American regulator (CGA 510). Instead of scrambling to find a new regulator or returning the cylinder, this precision-engineered adaptor allows you to make the connection safely and instantly.

Why Do You Need This Adaptor?

Acetylene cylinders come with different valve outlets depending on the supplier and region. The CGA 410 valve is commonly found on cylinders supplied by Air Liquide, particularly in the Canadian market. However, the vast majority of acetylene regulators sold and used in the industry are equipped with a CGA 510 nut and nipple. The WES1453 bridges this gap, converting the cylinder's outlet to match your existing equipment. This means you can maintain a single set of high-quality regulators regardless of which gas supplier delivers your tanks this week.

Safety and Durability First

When dealing with fuel gases like acetylene, there is no room for compromise on safety. Makeshift connections or forcing mismatched threads can lead to dangerous leaks. Western Enterprises is a leader in gas control products, and this adaptor is manufactured from high-quality solid brass to ensure a secure, gas-tight seal. The brass construction is not only durable and resistant to corrosion but is also non-sparking, a critical feature for fuel gas environments. The adaptor is rated for pressures up to 500 PSIG, well above the standard working pressure of acetylene cylinders.

Easy Installation

The adaptor features a female thread on the cylinder side to screw onto the CGA 410 valve, and a female thread on the output side to accept the male nut of your CGA 510 regulator. Both connections utilize left-hand threads, indicated by the notches on the hex nut, which is the standard safety convention for fuel gases to prevent accidental connection to oxygen lines. Simply tighten the adaptor onto the cylinder, then attach your regulator to the adaptor, and you are ready to work.
