How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

For Use With: Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia, Chloride, Fluoride, Fluorine, Germane, Fluorocarbon, Halide, Helium, Hydrogen, Argon, Krypton, Oxygen, Laser Gas, Natural Gas, Neon, Butane, Xenon, Tungsten Hexafluoride, Silane, Sulfur Hexafluoride, Nitrogen
Temperature Range: -420° to 1000° F, except nickel gaskets are -325° to 600° F
Tubing: Use with 316/316L stainless steel
Specifications Met: MIL-STD-810

Use these fittings in applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to satellites and rockets. They resist high vibration and vacuum while maintaining high purity. Two anti-torque rings stop the fittings from twisting your tubing or component during installation. This also prevents the fittings from loosening or leaking from high vibration, so they’re safe to use with hazardous gases. All are compatible with Swagelok® VCR fittings.

Also known as ultra-high-purity fittings, these fittings were packed in a Class 100 clean room, so they arrive without contaminants. They're also designed from inside and out to prevent the creation of contaminants. Made of stainless steel, they won’t rust. Their anti-torque rings prevent galling, which extends the life of the seal while limiting particles. A metal gasket, instead of a rubber one, also reduces the potential for particles. And their interior is polished to a 7 Ra finish—the same as a high-quality stainless steel sink—to prevent particles from clinging to the inside.

Choose from fully assembled fittings or build a custom fitting. For a complete fitting, you'll need two anti-torque rings, two adapters, a male and female nut, and a gasket.

Gaskets

Nickel gaskets are softer than stainless steel gaskets, so they won’t wear down sealing surfaces as much, and they’re easier to tighten. However, they don’t withstand temperatures as high. They’re reactive to carbon monoxide and ozone, so they shouldn’t be used with those chemicals.

Stainless steel gaskets are a more universal gasket material than nickel gaskets. They’re also stronger and better at handling high temperatures. You can use them with carbon monoxide and ozone. However, they’re harder to tighten than nickel gaskets, and they’ll wear down sealing surfaces more quickly.

Nuts for High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas

Slide a high-pressure hose nipple for compressed gas into one of these nuts to connect a pipe to the inlet of a pressure regulator. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts and inlet nuts.

Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nuts, so they're easier to thread together. Aluminum-plated brass nuts have better corrosion and wear resistance than unplated brass. Chrome-plated brass nuts have comparable corrosion and wear resistance to aluminum-plated brass nuts, and have a bright, shiny appearance. 316 stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion resistance.

Nuts with a plastic grip can be tightened by hand instead of with a wrench.

Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.

Note: Nuts have a CGA, BS, or DIN number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same number as your tank and other system components.

High-Pressure Threaded Fittings for Compressed Gas

Designed to handle high-pressure welding applications, these fittings are commonly used to connect pressure regulators to compressed gas tanks or cylinders. Fittings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.

Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas

Commonly used in high-pressure welding applications, these nipples connect your tank to the inlet of a pressure regulator. One side has a threaded pipe end and the other side has a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded connection.

Brass nipples have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nipples, so they're easier to thread together. Chrome-plated brass nipples have better corrosion and wear resistance than unplated brass nipples and have a bright, shiny appearance. 316 stainless steel nipples have excellent corrosion resistance.

Nipples with filter help keep the line clean by preventing small particles and other impurities from entering your pressure regulator.

Nipples that tighten by hand should be paired with a nut with a plastic grip.

Threaded Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas

Use these fittings to connect welding hose to pressure regulators and torches. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Nuts for Barbed Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas

Also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts, these are designed for low-pressure welding applications downstream of your tank and pressure regulator. Slide a barbed hose adapter for compressed gas into a male or female nut to make a threaded connection to torches or pressure regulators.

Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.

Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance. Note: Nuts have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Barbed Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas

Commonly used in low-pressure welding applications, these fittings connect downstream of your tank and pressure regulator. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a crimp-on hose ferrule. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to torches or pressure regulators. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded CGA nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded hose connection.
