OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Connections with Western Enterprises WES69

The Western Enterprises WES69 CGA-540 Oxygen Nipple is a critical component for professionals in the industrial, welding, and laboratory sectors who require secure and reliable gas connections. Manufactured to precise specifications, this nipple is designed to interface seamlessly with CGA-540 outlets, the standard connection for oxygen cylinders in the United States. Constructed from high-quality brass, the WES69 ensures long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of high-purity gas systems.

Safety and performance are paramount when dealing with high-pressure gases. The WES69 is rated for a maximum working pressure of 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications. The 1/4-inch NPT thread provides a universal fit for many regulators, manifolds, and pigtails, allowing for versatile system configurations. Its 3-inch length offers additional clearance, which can be particularly advantageous in complex piping arrangements where space and accessibility are factors.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the integrated 11/16-inch hex section, which allows technicians to apply the necessary torque for a leak-tight seal using standard tools. Whether you are assembling a new gas distribution manifold or replacing a worn component on an existing regulator, the Western Enterprises WES69 delivers the quality and reliability expected from a leading manufacturer in the gas equipment industry. Please note that this product is a nipple only; the corresponding nut must be purchased separately if required.
