Cylinder pigtails are used to connect a manifold to compressed gas cylinders. They can be equipped with a CGA inlet fitting that matches the cylinder valve CGA outlet connection (to minimize the possibility of hazardous misconnections). All pigtails are pressure tested in excess of their required working pressure (all pigtails have a working pressure equal to the required CGA connection).
Flexible pigtails are recommended for frequent cylinder replacement situations where rigid pigtails can work harden and leak due to excessive bending. Flexible pigtails have a nylon inner core with a polyester braid and polyester or polyurethane cover (recommended for general service). Flexible teflon pigtails have a virgin teflon inner core with a stainless steel outer braid.
Pigtails for acetylene manifolds must have a check valve and dry flash arrestor and cannot be of copper construction. Use only pigtails listed for acetylene service.
Pigtails used for fuel gas service other than acetylene must have a check valve at the manifold end. Engineered manifold systems and gas connections by request.
Built to order, or possible lead times exist on flexible pigtail gas hoses.
