| Here is a good resource about [[http://www.srigc.com/Connecting%20Gas%20Cylinders%20-%20August%202013.pdf|how to connect gas bottles and the safety issues associated with cylinders]]. (JT - this was a great site, but now it's gone and I have yet to find an equivalent ...) It also has information about different types of connectors: all gas bottles and regulators have standardized fittings that are particular to particular gases. Fittings are labeled by CGA-number (CGA = Compressed Gas Association). CGA-580 is used for inert gases. Oxygen fittings have different fittings (puts a high barrier to your accidentally venting highly reactive gas). A [[http://www.concoa.com/cgachart.html|list of CGA fittings]] can be found at this CONCOA site. Ted Pella also has information about [[https://www.tedpella.com/company_html/Compressed_Gas_Cylinder_Outlet_Connections.htm|standard fitting types in non-US labs]]. | Here is a good resource about [[http://www.srigc.com/Connecting%20Gas%20Cylinders%20-%20August%202013.pdf|how to connect gas bottles and the safety issues associated with cylinders]].

It also has information about different types of connectors: all gas bottles and regulators have standardized fittings that are particular to particular gases. Regulator fittings are labeled by CGA-number (CGA = Compressed Gas Association). CGA-580 is used for inert gases (Argon, Nitrogen, Helium etc.).
