OVERVIEW

Restore Your Regulator's Integrity

Is your gas regulator leaking at the cylinder connection? Often, the culprit is a scratched or worn nipple seating surface. The Western Enterprises 683-PT Replacement Soft Tip CGA-350 Nipple is the perfect solution to get your equipment back in safe working order. Designed specifically for Hydrogen, Methane, and Natural Gas setups, this high-quality replacement part ensures you can maintain a safe and efficient work environment without the cost of replacing the entire regulator.

The Soft Tip Difference

Struggling to get a seal without over-tightening your regulator nut? The 683-PT features a "Soft Tip" design that changes the game. By utilizing a softer seating material at the tip of the nipple, this fitting creates a positive seal with much less force than traditional solid brass nipples. This not only makes changing cylinders easier but also protects the threads and the mating surface of your cylinder valve from unnecessary wear and tear. It's an upgrade that pays for itself in convenience and longevity.

Built for Professional Use

When dealing with flammable gases, quality cannot be compromised. Western Enterprises is a trusted name in the welding and gas industry, known for manufacturing fittings that professionals rely on. This nipple is machined from durable brass, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of daily shop use. Whether you are running a CNC cutting table on natural gas or a lab setup with hydrogen, this nipple provides the reliability you need.

Easy Installation

Swapping out your old nipple is a straightforward maintenance task. Simply remove the old nipple from your regulator or pigtail assembly and install the 683-PT using your existing CGA-350 nut (or a new one if needed). The precision machining ensures a smooth fit. Keep a few of these in your maintenance kit to avoid downtime caused by unexpected leaks or damaged fittings. Trust Western Enterprises for all your gas connection needs.
