OVERVIEW

Connect with Confidence: Western Enterprises 858 Adaptor

Don't let mismatched threads stop your work. The Western Enterprises 858 Cylinder Adaptor is the go-to solution for welders, lab technicians, and industrial workers who need to connect a CGA-346 regulator to a CGA-590 cylinder. Whether you are setting up a calibration station or managing industrial air supplies, having the right adaptor in your toolbox can save you hours of downtime. This unit is specifically designed to handle Zero Air gas service, making it an indispensable accessory for facilities that manage diverse gas cylinders and equipment.

Heavy-Duty Brass Construction

When dealing with compressed gas, quality cannot be compromised. The WES858 is machined from solid brass, offering superior strength and resistance to wear and tear. Brass fittings are the industry standard for a reason: they are durable enough to handle high-pressure connections while being soft enough to create a positive seal against steel cylinder valves without damaging the threads. This adaptor is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, giving you peace of mind that your connection is secure and safe. The robust design ensures that it can withstand the daily demands of a busy shop or laboratory environment.

Problem Solving for Gas Systems

Compressed Gas Association (CGA) fittings are designed to prevent cross-connection of incompatible gases, but sometimes legitimate connections require adaptation. For instance, you may receive a cylinder with a CGA-590 valve but your dedicated Zero Air regulator has a CGA-346 nut. Instead of replacing the regulator or returning the cylinder, the WES858 adaptor provides an immediate, safe fix. It allows you to maintain your workflow efficiency without compromising on safety standards. Note that while this adaptor is a powerful problem solver, it is designed for temporary connections and should be inspected before each use.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Versatility: Instantly converts CGA-590 to CGA-346.
  • Durability: All-brass construction resists corrosion and physical damage.
  • Safety: Engineered to meet strict industry standards for compressed gas fittings.
  • Convenience: Small, lightweight, and easy to keep in a tool kit for emergencies.

Equip your facility with the Western Enterprises 858 to ensure you are never caught off guard by incompatible cylinder connections. It is a small investment that prevents big headaches.

FAQ

The WES858 adaptor is designed to connect a regulator or hose with a CGA-346 connection to a gas cylinder equipped with a CGA-590 valve.

This adaptor is primarily used for Zero Air and Industrial Air applications where these specific CGA connections are present.

No, cylinder adaptors like the WES858 are designed for temporary use only. They should not be used as a permanent fix in a gas distribution system.

While specific ratings can vary by batch, these brass adaptors are typically rated for standard cylinder pressures up to 3000 PSIG.

The adaptor is manufactured from high-quality solid brass, ensuring durability and safety for compressed gas service.

Yes, as with many brass products, this item carries a Proposition 65 warning for lead content. Users should wash hands after handling.

No, this adaptor is specified for Zero Air/Industrial Air (CGA-590/346). Never use adaptors for gases other than what they are specified for to avoid dangerous cross-contamination.

Generally, CGA fittings are designed to seal via metal-to-metal contact or specific seating surfaces. Thread tape is usually not recommended for the high-pressure cylinder connection side unless specified by the manufacturer.
