OVERVIEW

Reliable Connections for Your Welding Setup

As a welder, you know that the integrity of your gas setup is just as important as the quality of your arc. A leaky fitting isn't just a waste of expensive gas; it's a serious safety hazard, especially when dealing with fuel gases like Acetylene or Propane. The Western Enterprises B-40 Brass Bushing is the dependable solution you need when you have to adapt your equipment. Whether you are building a custom manifold, connecting a regulator to a different hose setup, or adapting a cylinder outlet, this bushing bridges the gap between CGA-510 and 1/4" NPT Female threads.

Why settle for cheap, imported fittings that might strip or crack? This bushing is machined from solid brass right here in the USA, giving you the confidence that it will hold up to the rigors of the shop. The brass construction is tough enough to withstand the knocks and bumps of daily use while providing a secure, gas-tight seal every time you tighten it down. The threads are cut precisely to ensure they engage smoothly, reducing the frustration of cross-threading or fighting with a connection that just won't seal.

This specific adaptor is designed for CGA-510 connections, which are standard for Acetylene and Propane tanks. It converts that connection to a 1/4" NPT Female port, opening up a world of possibilities for connecting standard pipe fittings, gauges, or other accessories to your gas supply. It's a small part, but it plays a huge role in keeping your rig versatile and safe. Keep a couple of these in your toolbox, and you'll never be stuck unable to make a connection when you're out on a job.

Remember, safety comes first. Always check your connections for leaks with a soapy water solution after installing new fittings. With the Western Enterprises B-40, you're starting with a high-quality component that makes achieving a safe, leak-free system that much easier. Upgrade your fittings and weld with peace of mind.

The B-40 bushing features a CGA-510 connection on one side and a 1/4" NPT Female thread on the other.

No, this bushing is designed for CGA-510 connections, which are typically used for fuel gases like Acetylene and Propane. Oxygen fittings use different CGA standards (like CGA-540) to prevent cross-connection.

CGA-510 connections generally utilize a Left-Hand thread (POL) to distinguish fuel gas lines from other gases.

It is machined from high-quality brass, offering durability and spark resistance suitable for fuel gas applications.

The fitting is rated for pressures up to 500 PSIG, which is sufficient for standard Acetylene and Propane cylinder pressures.
