CGA-350 Stainless Steel Cylinder Connector & Gas Regulator Inlet Fitting
Product Overview
We offer high-quality CGA-350 stainless steel fittings designed to provide safe, leak-proof connections between compressed gas cylinders and gas regulators or equipment. Manufactured from durable 316L stainless steel, these fittings meet stringent CGA (Compressed Gas Association) standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial, flammable, and specialty gases.
Key Features
Premium Material: Made from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel for enhanced durability and longevity.
Standardized CGA-350 Interface: Ensures compatibility with cylinders containing gases such as hydrogen, ethylene, arsine, and many others.
High Pressure Rating: Suitable for use up to 3000 psig, supporting demanding industrial and laboratory environments.
Metal-to-Metal Seal: Provides a secure, leak-tight connection without the need for thread sealants like PTFE tape or pipe dope.
Versatile Applications: Perfect for industrial gas delivery, semiconductor manufacturing, medical gas systems, and research laboratories.
Long Nipple Design (SEQ3504SSL): Facilitates easier regulator attachment and improved handling.

Installation & Safety Instructions
Always ensure the gas cylinder valve is closed before attaching any fitting.
Thread the connector or fitting onto the cylinder valve by hand, ensuring it is snug without cross-threading.
Use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn-do not over-tighten to avoid damage or leaks.
Do not use pipe dope or PTFE tape on CGA fittings; these rely on metal-to-metal or gasket seals for leak prevention.
Perform a leak test after installation to confirm a secure seal.
Regularly inspect fittings for wear, corrosion, or damage and replace as necessary.
