High-Pressure CGA-680 Connection Component

The Western Enterprises WES680-2 is a specialized inlet nut designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-pressure gas management systems. Manufactured to strict CGA V-1 specifications, this component serves as a critical interface between gas cylinders and regulation equipment. It is specifically engineered for CGA-680 connections, which are standard for inert gases such as Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium utilized in high-pressure environments ranging from 3000 to 5500 PSIG.

Constructed from high-quality brass, the WES680-2 offers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under torque. The nut features a 1.040"-14 NGO Right-Hand Male thread profile, ensuring compatibility with standard CGA-680 cylinder valves and manifold connections. The 1-1/8" RC Hex design provides ample surface area for wrench engagement, facilitating secure installation and removal without slippage. With a length of 1.145 inches and a weight of 0.177 lbs, it is a robust yet compact solution for gas distribution assemblies.

In industrial and laboratory settings, the integrity of gas connections is paramount for safety and process consistency. This nut is designed to work in conjunction with a mating nipple (sold separately) to create a gas-tight seal. It is suitable for use in welding operations, analytical laboratories, and industrial manufacturing processes where high-pressure inert gases are required. The product is UL listed where applicable and meets the necessary safety standards for compressed gas fittings.

Professionals relying on precise gas delivery systems choose Western Enterprises for their commitment to quality and safety. The WES680-2 exemplifies this with its durable machining and reliable performance in high-stress pressure applications. Whether for cylinder changeouts or permanent manifold installations, this inlet nut provides the assurance needed for handling compressed inert gases safely.
