CGA Fitting Reference
A CGA fitting is the standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line.
Examples of CGA fittings would be CGA-580 for Non-flamable, Non-oxidizing gasses such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. CGA-590 is used
for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used
for special purposes.
