OVERVIEW

Premium CGA-320 Brass Nut for Carbon Dioxide Service

The Western Enterprises WESCO-2 is a specialized CGA-320 nut designed explicitly for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas service. In the realm of industrial gas distribution and management, the integrity of every connection is paramount. This nut is engineered to meet the rigorous standards set by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), ensuring that it mates perfectly with standard CO2 cylinder valves and regulator nipples. By adhering to the CGA-320 standard, this fitting helps prevent hazardous cross-connections with incompatible gases, a critical safety feature in busy industrial environments where multiple gas types are utilized.

Manufactured from high-grade brass, this nut offers superior durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential for components exposed to varying environmental conditions and the physical stresses of repeated coupling and uncoupling. The brass material is also non-sparking, adding an extra layer of safety when working in volatile environments. The nut features a .830"-14 NGO Right-Hand Female thread, precision-machined to ensure a smooth engagement and a secure hold under pressure. With a pressure rating of 3000 PSIG, it is robust enough to handle the full pressure of standard industrial CO2 cylinders without compromising structural integrity.

For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), having the correct fittings on hand is crucial to minimize downtime. The WESCO-2 is a standard replacement part for many CO2 regulators and manifold systems. Its 1-1/8" hex design is compatible with standard wrenches, facilitating quick and easy installation. Whether you are outfitting a new gas manifold system, repairing a damaged regulator, or assembling custom gas delivery lines, this CGA-320 nut provides the reliability and compliance required for professional applications. It is widely used across various sectors, including welding, beverage dispensing, and laboratory research, making it a versatile inventory item for industrial suppliers.

Trust in the quality of Western Enterprises fittings to maintain the efficiency and safety of your gas delivery systems. This product represents a small but vital link in the chain of safe gas handling, ensuring that your Carbon Dioxide supply is delivered securely and effectively to its point of use.

FAQ

The thread size is .830"-14 NGO, Right-Hand Female, which is the standard for CGA-320 connections.

Yes, CGA-320 connections typically require a flat washer or gasket between the nipple and the valve face to create a gas-tight seal. The nut itself secures the connection but does not form the primary seal.

This nut is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, making it suitable for standard high-pressure Carbon Dioxide cylinders.

No, this nut is specific to CGA-320 for Carbon Dioxide. Argon and Nitrogen typically use CGA-580 connections, which have different thread specifications to prevent cross-connection.

It is machined from high-quality brass, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

The nut features a 1-1/8" hex design, so a 1-1/8" wrench or a large adjustable wrench is required for installation.

According to the manufacturer specifications, this specific component is not UL listed, but it is manufactured to CGA standards.

Yes, it is designed to work with standard CGA-320 nipples, including those manufactured by Western Enterprises.
