Valve Summary AS2473.3

The document describes the Australian Standard AS2473.2 which outlines specifications for cylinder valve outlet fittings. It includes 34 different types of connections that vary based on thread size and type, sealing face design, and intended gas usage. The types range from small thread sizes for flammable gases up to larger sizes for high pressure gases like oxygen. Each type lists the key dimensions and thread details.

Australian Standard AS2473.

2 Cylinder Valve Connections


Following is a summary of the Australian AS2473.2 cylinder valve outlet fittings. The thread specifications are technically accurate, but the dimension X is only shown 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)
