Compressed Gas Association CGA V-1
Cylinder Valve Connections
Following is a summary of the North American Compressed Gas Association CGA V-1 cylinder valve outlet fittings. The
thread specifications are technically accurate, but the dimension ‘X’ is only show as a reference dimension (thread I.D.
or O.D.) that could be measured by someone with a cylinder in order to help determine what an unknown valve
connection is. Connections with flat end sealing face require a soft sealing washer as part of the connection.
Connections with angled sealing faces are intended to seal metal-to-metal, although an optional o-ring seal is possible
on some connections. Teflon tape should not be used on the valve connection threads. (I.D. = inside diameter, O.D. =
outside diameter)
