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.

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. Stainless steel nuts have excellent 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.
