OVERVIEW

Don't Let Mismatched Threads Stop Your Arc

Every welder knows the frustration: you're ready to start a job, you roll out a fresh acetylene tank, and suddenly your regulator won't fit. The cylinder has a CGA-300 valve (Commercial Acetylene), but your trusty regulator is set up for the standard CGA-510 (POL). Instead of scrambling to find a different regulator or sending the tank back, keep the Western Enterprises WES61 Cylinder Adaptor in your toolbox. This handy piece of hardware is a lifesaver in the shop or on the truck, instantly converting the cylinder valve to match your gear so you can get back to burning metal.

Built Tough for the Shop
When you are dealing with combustible gases like acetylene, you don't cut corners on quality. This adaptor is machined from solid brass, giving it the durability to survive the daily grind of a welding environment. It resists corrosion and stands up to the knocks and bumps of shop life. The 1-1/16 inch hex design gives you plenty of surface area to get a good grip with your wrench, ensuring you can tighten it down securely for a leak-free seal. Rated for 500 PSIG, it is more than capable of handling full acetylene cylinder pressures safely.

Safety and Compatibility
Using the right adaptor is about more than just making threads fit; it's about safety. The WES61 is specifically engineered for Acetylene service, ensuring that you aren't accidentally connecting incompatible gas lines. It features a Female CGA-300 end that screws onto the cylinder and a Female CGA-510 end that accepts your regulator. Remember, adaptors like this are perfect for getting the job done when cylinder types vary, but they aren't meant for permanent, set-it-and-forget-it installation. Always leak check your connections with a proper solution before lighting your torch. With the WES61, you ensure that a simple thread mismatch never puts your project behind schedule.
