OVERVIEW

ESAB 103Z01: Precision Brass Inlet Nipple for Fuel Gas Regulators

The ESAB 103Z01 Nipple Inlet is a specialized gas fitting engineered for the welding and industrial gas sector. This component is designed to facilitate the connection of regulators to gas cylinders, specifically utilizing the CGA 510 standard, which is the designated connection for Acetylene, Propane, and other fuel gases. Its robust design ensures it meets the rigorous demands of industrial environments.

Constructed from high-grade brass, the 103Z01 offers superior machinability and sealing properties. The inlet side is shaped to mate perfectly with CGA 510 cylinder valves (when used with the appropriate nut), while the outlet side features a 1/4" NPT Male thread. This NPT thread is a standard size for many regulator inlets and manifold systems, making this nipple a versatile repair part for various brands of gas equipment, not just ESAB.

Proper maintenance of gas regulators is crucial for safety and performance. A damaged inlet nipple can lead to dangerous gas leaks or improper seating of the regulator. Replacing a worn stem with the ESAB 103Z01 restores the integrity of the connection. This part is essential for equipment repair shops, facility maintenance teams, and welders who maintain their own oxy-fuel cutting and welding gear.

FAQ

CGA 510 is the standard connection for Acetylene, Propane, Butane, and other fuel gases.

The thread size is 1/4-inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) Male.

This product listing is typically for the nipple (stem) only. The securing nut is usually sold separately or reused if in good condition.

Yes, as long as the regulator accepts a 1/4" NPT Male thread and requires a CGA 510 connection, this standard fitting is compatible.

It is manufactured from solid brass, which is the industry standard for non-corrosive gas fittings.

No, CGA 510 is specific to fuel gases. Oxygen cylinders use CGA 540 connections, which have different dimensions to prevent cross-connection.

Apply an appropriate thread sealant (like PTFE tape approved for gas) to the NPT threads and screw it into the regulator body or manifold. Ensure the CGA sealing surface is clean before connecting to a cylinder.
