Western Enterprises wms-1-62 Check Valve Outlet CGA-346

Product Description

The WESTERN ENTERPRISES wms-1-62 is a brass check valve outlet designed for use in compressed air manifold header assemblies operating at up to 3000 psi. It features a 1/2 inch male NPT connection and is rated for Air CGA-346 gas service. The check valve design disperses heat generated during gas flow, reducing the risk associated with rapid pressure changes in compressed gas systems. Licensed gas technicians and industrial service professionals install this component as part of a safe, code-compliant manifold system.

This outlet is intended for industrial compressed air manifold headers where enhanced safety over conventional header valves is required. Its automatic shutoff function activates if a connected pigtail ruptures, stopping gas flow and reducing the risk of injury to nearby personnel. It is suited for industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, and other settings where compressed air distribution systems require reliable, passive safety controls built into the header assembly.

Key Features

• Brass construction for durability in compressed gas service
• Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure
• Air CGA-346 gas service rating
• 1/2 inch male NPT thread for standard manifold header connection
• Automatic gas shutoff if pigtail ruptures, reducing operator injury risk
• Disperses heat to minimize risks associated with rapid recompression

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for industrial compressed air manifold header assemblies using CGA-346 Air service connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed gas systems and applicable safety codes. Depressurize and isolate the manifold system fully before removing or installing any outlet component. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for compressed air service on the NPT connection. Verify all connections are leak-free before returning the system to service.
