WES15-11 - Western Enterprises CGA 580 Brass Nipple 1/4 NPT x 4-1/4 Inch

Western Enterprises 15-11 CGA 580 Inlet Nipple

The Western Enterprises 15-11 is a premium-grade inlet nipple designed for professional gas distribution systems. Engineered specifically for CGA 580 connections, this component is essential for establishing secure and leak-proof links between compressed gas cylinders and regulation equipment. The nipple is manufactured from high-quality brass, ensuring excellent durability and resistance to deformation under the high torque often applied during installation. Its robust construction is rated for service pressures up to 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for standard industrial cylinders containing inert gases such as Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen.

One of the defining features of the WES15-11 is its extended length of 4-1/4 inches. This additional length is particularly advantageous in manifold assemblies or complex pigtail configurations where clearance is required between the cylinder valve and the regulator body or piping system. The unit features a standard 1/4" NPT male thread on the mounting end, providing universal compatibility with a vast array of industrial gas fittings, pigtails, and regulator inlets. The integrated 11/16" hex section allows for positive wrench engagement, ensuring that technicians can tighten the fitting securely without slippage.

Safety and compliance are paramount in high-pressure gas environments. This Western Enterprises nipple is manufactured in the United States, adhering to strict dimensional tolerances and material standards. It is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, from welding shops to laboratory environments. Whether you are fabricating a custom gas manifold or replacing a worn component on a flowmeter, the WES15-11 offers the reliability and precision required for critical gas control applications.
