Don't let a stripped thread or a damaged sealing surface compromise your safety. The ESAB 17112 Inlet Nipple is the perfect replacement part for welders using Acetylene B-tanks. If your regulator isn't seating correctly on the cylinder, or if you notice signs of wear on the inlet stem, it's time to swap it out. This nipple is designed with the standard CGA 520 connection, making it compatible with the small acetylene cylinders commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and light fabrication.
Built from durable brass, this nipple is tough enough to handle the daily grind of swapping cylinders. The .44-20M thread is precision-cut to screw smoothly into your regulator body, ensuring a hassle-free repair. Using genuine parts like this ensures that your equipment functions exactly as the manufacturer intended, giving you consistent gas flow and a leak-free seal every time you crack the valve.
Safety is paramount in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting. A compromised inlet nipple can lead to gas leaks at the cylinder connection—a serious fire hazard. By maintaining your equipment with fresh, high-quality fittings, you protect yourself and your shop. This part is a direct replacement for many Victor and ESAB style regulators. Simply remove the old nipple (and nut), clean the threads, and install this new unit to get your torch outfit back in top working condition.
