Specialty Gases Cylinder Outlet

These tables identify the most typical cylinder outlet connections used with the main Specialty Gases pure gases and mixtures. The standards referred to are occasionally implemented with slight variations in the contries where the standard applies, eg DIN in Europe. Right handed, external thread is the normal tread unless LH (left handed) on INT (Internal) is annotated. If required, the actual cylinder outlet should be confirmed with your local supplier at the time of supply.

Please select your connection type below or scroll to the respective table on this page.
