CGA-520 to CGA-510 Acetylene B-Tank Adapter

Connect B-Tanks to Standard Regulators with the WES317 Adapter

For welders, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who rely on portability without sacrificing equipment quality, the Western Enterprises WES317 Cylinder Adapter is an essential tool box addition. Often, professionals own high-quality, single-stage or two-stage acetylene regulators designed for large industrial cylinders (POL/CGA-510). However, when a job requires carrying a torch kit up a ladder or into a crawl space, the smaller 40 cu. ft. "B" tank is the cylinder of choice. The WES317 adapter solves the compatibility issue instantly, converting the B-tank's CGA-520 valve to accept your existing CGA-510 regulator.

Constructed from solid brass, this adapter is built to withstand the rigors of daily field use. It features a rugged 1-1/8" hex shape, making it easy to install and remove with an adjustable wrench. The precision-machined threads ensure a smooth connection that protects the integrity of both your cylinder valve and your regulator nut. By utilizing this adapter, you avoid the expense of purchasing a dedicated regulator for your smaller tanks, maximizing the versatility of your existing welding and cutting equipment.

Western Enterprises is a leader in gas control products, and the WES317 reflects their commitment to quality and safety. The adapter is rated for 500 PSIG, well above the standard service pressure for acetylene. Whether you are silver soldering copper pipes, performing light steel brazing, or using an air-acetylene torch, this adapter ensures a secure and safe gas flow. Please remember that adapters are intended to facilitate connections where direct mating is impossible and should be inspected regularly for wear or damage.
