143 - Western Enterprises CGA-346 Brass Air Nipple, 1/4" NPT x 2-1/2"

Reliable Air Connections for Your Shop

When you are setting up your shop's air supply or fixing a regulator, you need fittings that fit right the first time and don't leak. The Western Enterprises CGA-346 Air Nipple is the go-to replacement part for connecting compressed air cylinders to your equipment. Made from solid brass, this nipple is built to last and stands up to the wear and tear of a busy welding shop or garage. It connects directly to the cylinder valve or manifold using the standard CGA-346 connection designed specifically for air.

This nipple features a 1/4-inch NPT thread on the equipment side, which is the most common size for regulators and piping systems. If you have stripped the threads on an old regulator inlet or are building a new whip line, this 2-1/2 inch long nipple gives you the length you need to make the connection easily. The hex nut shape on the body lets you get a good grip with your wrench, ensuring you can tighten it down securely to prevent those annoying and costly air leaks.

Safety is always the top priority when dealing with compressed gas. This fitting is rated for up to 3000 PSI, meaning it can handle the pressure of full industrial air cylinders without breaking a sweat. Because it is made by Western Enterprises, a trusted name in gas equipment, you can trust that the machining is precise and the materials are top-notch. Don't risk your equipment or your safety with cheap, unrated fittings. Stick with the standard.

This product is ideal for welders who use compressed air for plasma cutting, gouging, or general shop air tools and need to adapt their regulators or manifold systems. It is a simple, tough, and essential part for keeping your air supply running smoothly.
