CGA580 Cylinder Valves
INERT GAS VALVE – CGA580, 3/4″ NGT – ARGON, HELIUM, NITROGEN
This DSW inert gas valve is made from heavy-duty forged brass and is specifically designed for use with argon, helium, or nitrogen in steel inert gas cylinders.
This inert gas valve has a CGA580 valve outlet with a 3/4″ NGT inlet and a safety (burst disc).
Valve Size Chart
Specifications:
Outlet Connection: The outlet connection accommodates a CGA580 fitting, standard for inert gases.
Inlet Connection: The CGA580 valve has a 3/4″ NGT (National Gas Taper) inlet connection. This means it fits a specific thread size on the gas cylinder.
Maximum Operating Pressure: The valve can handle a maximum pressure of 3360 pounds per square inch (PSI).
Features:
Pressure Relief Device (PRD): Pressure relief device
Automated Assembly and Testing: Ensures high quality.
Helium Leak Tested: Ensures gas containment. 100% helium leak tested
Heavy-Duty Construction: Heavy-duty forged brass body for durability and high-pressure
Precisely machined internal components meet the most stringent international valve performance standards
Pressure Relief Device (PRD) is a unitized plug design that provides excellent flow characteristics and ensures proper assembly and tamper resistance
Metal-to-Metal Seal: Metal-to-metal seal below bonnet threads prevents pressure in the threads at the top of the valve body
Direct-drive stem design with optimized O-ring (GV) or double O-ring (GVHM) seal reduces friction and operates at deficient torque levels
Tapped for the dip tube as required
Common Applications:
Welding: The CGA580 valve is commonly used in welding applications.
Industrial Uses: It’s also used in various industrial processes requiring inert gases.
Must be installed by a qualified cylinder technician
Compressed gas cylinders and valves are dangerous. Use caution.
