Western Enterprises 15-8 CGA-580 to 1/4" NPT Brass Nipple (2-1/2" Long)

Reliable CGA-580 Nipple for Welding Regulator Repair

Keep your shielding gas flowing and your welds clean with the Western Enterprises 15-8 Adaptor Nipple. For welders using TIG or MIG processes, a reliable connection to your Argon or Argon/CO2 mix cylinder is non-negotiable. This solid brass nipple is designed to fit standard CGA-580 cylinder valves, serving as the bridge between your high-pressure tank and your flowmeter or regulator. If you have ever dealt with a stripped thread or a bent inlet stem on your regulator, you know that a simple part like this can shut down production. Keep a spare 15-8 nipple in your toolbox to ensure you are never down for long.

The 15-8 features a robust 1/4" NPT thread, which is the industry standard for most regulator bodies and manifold connections. At 2-1/2 inches long, it gives you just the right amount of reach to clear the cylinder collar while keeping your gauge assembly compact and secure. The brass construction is tough enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of shop environments, including frequent cylinder changeouts and the occasional knock.

Don't risk leaks that waste expensive gas and compromise weld quality. This Western Enterprises fitting ensures a tight, secure seal every time. Whether you are building a custom gas whip, repairing an old Smith or Victor regulator, or setting up a purge line for stainless steel pipe welding, this nipple provides the professional-grade performance you need. It is compatible with all standard inert gas cylinders, including Nitrogen for purging and Helium for specialty applications.
