CGA Thread Adaptor Function
This brass cylinder adaptor connects a CGA-580 regulator outlet to a CGA-540 cylinder valve or equipment port. It solves thread mismatches between nitrogen and oxygen service connections. The adaptor is intended for temporary use rather than permanent installation. One unit is supplied per pack.
Suitability and Limitations
The part suits welders or technicians who need to mate a regulator with CGA-580 threads to a CGA-540 fitting on a cylinder or manifold. It does not suit installers who require a permanent, hard-piped connection or users who need adaptors for other CGA thread combinations.
Critical Thread Specification
The decisive specification is the thread conversion from CGA-580 to CGA-540. Confirm that both the regulator and the cylinder valve match these exact CGA numbers before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does the brass adaptor heat up or draw power when left connected to a cylinder all day?
It is a passive brass fitting with no electrical components, so it generates no heat and consumes no power during continuous use.
What regulator and cylinder threads must I already have for this CGA-580 to CGA-540 adaptor to work?
You need a regulator with a CGA-540 inlet and a cylinder valve with a CGA-580 outlet; the adaptor bridges those two thread types.
Will this adaptor fit older Western Enterprises regulators that use the same CGA-540 connection?
Yes, any regulator with a standard CGA-540 inlet will thread onto the adaptor regardless of age.
