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.

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.
- Maximum Pressure: 200 psi @ 72° F
- Maximum Temperature: 120° F
- Attachment Type: Use Crimp-On Hose Ferrules

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.

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.
