Flared fittings use a flare and a nipple for the sealing surface. The threads do not serve any purpose as to actually sealing anything. The threads merely hold the flare of the one fitting together tightly with the nipple of the other fitting to create a seal.

How has technology changed since 1988?
Teddy boys and girls were all the rage in the 50s. They looked very smart and formal usually. Mini skirts came out in the 1960s, they were the latest style and were made famous by the models Twiggy and The Shrimp. In the late 1960s and early 1970s hippies became the height of fashion.

Men wore power suits as a result of the greater tendency for people to display their wealth. Brand names became increasingly like fashion of all modern decades, 1980’s fashion in popular culture incorporated distinct trends from different eras. This helped form a cultivating movement of style. The masculine-influenced fashion trend that was most indicative of the 1980s was the wide use of shoulder pads for women.

The popular movie Flash dance made ripped sweatshirts well known in the general public. The television shows Dallas, and in particular, Dynasty also had a similar impact, especially in the increasingly over sized shoulder pads.

CGA stands for the Compressed Gas Association. A CGA fitting is 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. These welding fittings are typically used for welding applications, but can extend to other application such as medical and other gas uses. The fitting standards are designed to make the gas connections leak tight and also prevent different fittings from being mixed up. For example, flamable gas fittings have a left hand thread fittings. Oxygen and inert gases have right hand thread fittings. Since a left hand thread fittings cannot be threaded onto a right hand fitting, it is impossible to connect the fuel gas to the oxygen and vise versa. It is easy to determine whether the fitting is a left hand or right hand thread. The left hand fittings all have a small cut or slash on the nut of the fitting that denotes the left hand thread.
