Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does this CGA 320 to NPT 1/4 adapter do?
A: This adapter connects a standard CGA 320 CO₂ cylinder valve to any NPT 1/4-inch threaded regulator or fitting. It bridges the gap between CO₂ cylinders and NPT-standard equipment, enabling a secure, leak-proof gas flow for draft beer systems, aquarium CO₂ setups, welding applications, and laboratory use.
Q: Is a gasket or washer included with the adapter?
A: Yes — the adapter comes with an integrated sealing gasket/washer that ensures a reliable, leak-proof seal immediately upon installation. No additional sealing materials are required for standard applications.
Q: What materials is this adapter made from, and is it durable in high-pressure environments?
A: The adapter is precision-machined from corrosion-resistant brass, making it well-suited for high-pressure gas environments. The brass construction resists oxidation and wear, providing long-term durability and consistent performance across repeated connections and disconnections.
Q: How do I install the CGA 320 to NPT 1/4 adapter?
A: Installation is straightforward — ensure the cylinder valve is closed, place the gasket in position, hand-thread the adapter onto the CGA 320 cylinder valve, then snug it down with a wrench. Attach your NPT 1/4 regulator to the outlet end and verify there are no leaks before opening the cylinder valve.
