CGA-346 Brass Air Inlet Nipple, 1/4 Inch NPT

Reliable Air Connections for Your Welding Shop

Ensure your shop's compressed air supply is secure and leak-free with the Western Enterprises WES14-3 Inlet Nipple. In the welding and fabrication industry, reliable gas connections are just as important for pneumatic tools and plasma cutters as they are for shielding gases. This high-quality brass nipple is designed to fit CGA-346 connections, the standard for industrial compressed air cylinders. By using genuine Western Enterprises parts, you are investing in fittings that are manufactured to precise tolerances, reducing the risk of leaks that can waste expensive gas and compromise tool performance.

The WES14-3 features a robust brass construction that stands up to the rigors of daily shop use. Brass is the material of choice for these applications due to its non-sparking properties and resistance to atmospheric corrosion. This nipple is rated for pressures up to 3000 PSIG, giving you peace of mind when connecting to full high-pressure cylinders. The 1/4-inch NPT thread is a universal standard in the industry, allowing you to easily adapt this nipple to your existing regulators, manifolds, or pigtails without the need for complex adapters.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the 11/16-inch hex section, which provides a solid grip for your wrench. The 2-1/2 inch length offers ample room to maneuver around the cylinder valve and regulator body. Whether you are setting up a new plasma cutting station that requires clean, dry air, or simply replacing a damaged fitting on your shop manifold, the WES14-3 is the dependable choice. Don't compromise on safety or efficiency—choose Western Enterprises for all your gas equipment needs.
