Cylinder Valve Connections for
Medical Compressed Gases

Threaded Outlet Type Large Cylinder Valve. Post Type Pin Indexed Small Cylinder Valve.
For “T”, “K”, “S”, and “Q” style cylinders. For “E” and “D” style cylinders.

Praxair follows CGA V-1, Compressed Gas Association Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections used
on medical compressed gases.
The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has established a standard detailing dimensions for the manufacture of cylinder valve inlet and
outlet connections, designed to minimize the possibility of misconnections. Although the main purpose in standardizing cylinder valves
is to prevent non-compatible gas interconnection, relying on the valve outlet as the sole method of preventing such an interconnection
is not advisable. The primary means of identifying cylinder contents must be by means of the chemical name or commercially accepted
name, legibly indicated on the cylinder.
