- QD Adapters for valve connectors commonly found on bulk supply Oxygen and Helium gas storage cylinders
- CGA-540 (Oxygen) and CGA-580 (Helium) for North America
- BS341-3 (aka Bullnose #3) for UK, Australia, Asia and Middle East
- DIN477-9 (Oxygen) and DIN477-6 (Helium) for most European Union countries
Bulk Gas Storage Cylinder Valve Adapters with QD Stem
The specific adapter required varies depending on local standards in the country of use, see the description below to determine the appropriate adapter for your needs.
Our booster and transfill deluxe hose kits already include the CGA adapters for North America. If you wish to use our Deluxe Fitting and Hose Booster Kit or our Deluxe Gas Blending and Transfill Kit outside North America, you may want to add one or more of the other international standard adapters.
If you are a blender who wants to maximize your supply and minimize fill times then you are cascade filling using several supply cylinders. Having additional adapters with a quick disconnect on each supply cylinder makes cascading easier by enabling the rapid movement of the supply side hose from one bottle to the next in your cascade.
Portable bulk storage cylinders have outlets that vary depending on the standard adopted in the geographic area where the cylinders are located:
- The CGA-540 (O2) standard fitting is found on portable bulk storage Oxygen gas cylinders in North America. Brass construction with a plastic handwheel, the nipple includes a special soft tip seal made from PCTFE. (The adapter does NOT fit the CGA-870 pin indexed connector typically seen on small portable medical oxygen cylinders.)
- The CGA-580 (He) standard fitting is found on portable bulk storage Helium, Argon and other inert gas cylinders in North America. Brass construction with a plastic handwheel, the sealing o-ring included on the nipple is an AS568-013.
- The BS341-3 (O2 & He) standard fitting (aka "Bullnose #3") is most commonly seen on portable bulk storage cylinders for both Oxygen and inert gases like Helium in the UK and Australia, most of Asia and Middle East, plus a handful of European countries. Brass construction with a plastic handwheel, the sealing o-ring included on the nipple is a AS568-013. (Although the BS341-3 and CGA-580 look similar, the threads are slightly different and are not compatible with each other.)
- The DIN477-9 (O2) standard fitting is most commonly seen on portable bulk storage cylinders for Oxygen in the European Union countries. All brass construction, installation requires a wrench, the sealing O-ring included on the nipple is an AS568-013.
- The DIN477-6 (He) standard fitting is most commonly seen on portable bulk storage cylinders for Helium and Argon in the European Union countries. All brass construction, installation requires a wrench, the sealing O-ring included on the nipple is an AS568-013.

Warning
Oxygen-related fires and explosions can result in serious injury or death. According to our suppliers, these products are compatible with oxygen and factory cleaned for use with oxygen. Nonetheless, the 'clean state' of this equipment applies only prior to initial use. Thereafter, periodic inspection and cleaning are a necessity.
Never breathe unblended pure inert gases such as helium or argon that do not contain oxygen, as even a few breaths can cause sudden loss of consciousness without warning. Pure inert gases are sold in compressed gas storage cylinders with a special valves designated for use ONLY with inert gases; never use ordinary diving cylinders with SCUBA valves to store unblended pure inert gas.
