CGA-350 Brass Inlet Nipple with Soft Tip - 2.5 Inch

Reliable Gas Connections with the WES683 Nipple

When you are setting up a gas regulator or repairing a manifold for fuel gases, the quality of your fittings matters. The Western Enterprises WES683 Inlet Nipple is a top-tier replacement part designed to get your equipment back up and running safely. This 2.5-inch nipple is built from solid brass, making it tough enough to handle the rigors of daily shop use while resisting corrosion. It is specifically designed for the CGA-350 connection, which is the standard for gases like Hydrogen, Methane, and Natural Gas.

Why Choose a Soft Tip Nipple?

Leaks are the enemy of any gas system, costing you money and creating safety hazards. The WES683 features a "Soft Tip" design, which is a huge advantage over standard hard-nose nipples. The soft tip allows for a tighter, more forgiving seal against the cylinder valve or manifold seat. This means you are less likely to experience leaks, and you often don't have to crank down on the nut as hard to get a gas-tight fit. This feature saves wear and tear on your equipment and gives you peace of mind knowing your connection is secure.

Essential for Hydrogen and Methane Setups

Safety is paramount when working with flammable gases. The CGA-350 connection uses left-hand threads to ensure you never accidentally hook up a fuel gas line to an incompatible system like oxygen. The WES683 is precision-machined to fit these connections perfectly. Whether you are a professional welder, a lab technician, or a facility manager, having the right fittings on hand is crucial. This nipple is compatible with standard CGA-350 nuts and is a direct replacement for worn-out stems on many popular regulator brands.

Versatile Application

This nipple isn't just for repairs; it's also great for custom builds. If you are building a custom gas manifold or need to extend a connection, the 2.5-inch length gives you the room you need to work. It is a simple, effective solution for anyone working with CGA-350 gases. Don't let a damaged nipple put your operations on hold—keep a WES683 in your spare parts kit so you are always ready to make a safe, reliable connection.
