Description
Brass adapter fitting that converts a cylinder valve outlet to a 1/4 in. 37° JIC flared connection. Two configurations are listed; select the one that matches your cylinder and hose assembly.
- CGA 510 x 1/4 in. 37° JIC flared end, male (BUTANE-ADAPTER-M)
- CGA 555 x 1/4 in. 37° JIC flared end, female (BUTANE-ADAPTER-F)
- Material: brass
A 37° JIC flare seals metal to metal on the flare face rather than on the thread, so the joint does not depend on sealant tape and removes one leak path compared with a taped tapered pipe thread. CGA 555 is the outlet specified on the butane cylinders listed on this site.
Pressure rating, temperature range and overall length are not documented on this listing. Confirm the rating against your system before putting the fitting into service.
Frequently asked questions
Which configurations are available?+
Two: CGA 510 x 1/4 in. 37 degree JIC flared end in male (BUTANE-ADAPTER-M), and CGA 555 x 1/4 in. 37 degree JIC flared end in female (BUTANE-ADAPTER-F). Both are the same price; choose by the cylinder outlet and the gender of your hose end.
What is the fitting made from?+
Brass, as stated on the listing. No plating, pressure class or temperature range is documented.
Why a JIC flare rather than a taped pipe thread?+
The 37 degree flare seals on the flare face, metal to metal, instead of relying on thread engagement and sealant tape. The source listing describes this as removing the need for taping and reducing leak points.
Which cylinders does the CGA 555 option suit?+
The butane cylinders listed on this site specify a CGA 555 inlet nut and swivel. Check the outlet stamped on your own cylinder before ordering; we cannot confirm fit to cylinders sourced elsewhere.
Is a pressure rating published?+
No. No pressure or temperature rating and no overall length is stated on this listing. Confirm the rating against your system requirements before use.
Are a nut, swivel, gasket or hose included?+
Not documented. The listing describes the adapter fitting only; assume nothing else ships with it unless we confirm otherwise.
