OVERVIEW

Reliable CGA-580 Connection for Industrial Gases

The Western Enterprises 692P Inlet Nut Hand Wheel is a premium gas fitting designed to streamline the connection process for inert gas cylinders. Engineered for CGA-580 service, this component is essential for systems utilizing Argon, Helium, or Nitrogen. The unit combines a robust brass core with an ergonomic plastic grip, providing both durability and ease of use in demanding industrial environments.

One of the standout features of this inlet nut is its hand-tight design. Traditional brass nuts often require a wrench for a secure seal, which can be time-consuming and may lead to over-tightening or thread damage over time. The 692P incorporates a large, textured plastic hand wheel that allows operators to achieve a leak-tight seal manually. This feature is particularly beneficial in laboratories and welding stations where cylinders are swapped frequently, significantly reducing downtime.

Safety and compliance are paramount in gas handling. This fitting is machined to strict CGA specifications, featuring a .960"-14 NGO Right Hand Male thread profile. It is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, ensuring it can safely handle standard high-pressure cylinders. Whether you are setting up a TIG welding station, a laboratory chromatograph, or an industrial purging system, the Western Enterprises 692P offers a secure and efficient connection solution.
