Western Enterprises CGA 580 Brass Nipple 1/4 NPT x 4-1/4 Inch

Reliable CGA 580 Connection for Welders

For welders relying on shielding gases like pure Argon or Argon-based mixtures, the integrity of your regulator connections is non-negotiable. The Western Enterprises 15-11 CGA 580 Inlet Nipple is a heavy-duty replacement part designed to keep your gas delivery system running smoothly. If you have ever dealt with a stripped thread or a bent nipple on your regulator, you know how it can bring production to a halt. This solid brass nipple is built to replace damaged stems on your flowmeters and regulators, restoring your equipment to safe operational status quickly.

This specific model features a 4-1/4 inch length, which gives you a bit more reach than standard short nipples. This is incredibly useful when you are setting up a manifold system or if your regulator body is bulky and needs extra clearance from the cylinder valve. The 1/4" NPT thread is the industry standard for most regulator inlets and pigtail hoses, making this a versatile spare part to keep in your maintenance kit. It connects directly to CGA 580 cylinder valves, which are standard for Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen tanks used in TIG and MIG welding processes.

Don't compromise on safety with inferior fittings. Western Enterprises is a trusted name in gas equipment, and this US-made brass nipple is rated for up to 3000 PSIG. It features a sturdy hex nut section for easy tightening with your crescent wrench or cylinder wrench. Whether you are setting up a new TIG station or repairing a leaky connection on your MIG cart, this CGA 580 nipple ensures a tight seal and consistent gas flow, letting you focus on laying down perfect beads.
