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.

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. 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.
