Gas Bottle Type 27: The 2026 B2B Buyer’s Guide for Wholesale N2O Cylinders
What exactly is a gas bottle type 27? In the N₂O (nitrous oxide) wholesale supply chain, “type 27” refers to the standardized 27mm threaded valve connection used on recreational, medical, and food-grade nitrous oxide cylinders — most commonly found on 580g, 615g, 640g, 680g, and 2000g cream charger tanks. For import managers and brand owners sourcing from China, understanding the gas bottle type 27 specification is critical for ensuring compatibility with filling equipment, safety compliance, and downstream resale margins. This guide covers everything from valve standards and certification requirements to OEM customization and bulk logistics.

1. What Is a Gas Bottle Type 27? — Definition & Common Applications
The term “gas bottle type 27” describes a high-pressure steel cylinder fitted with a 27mm threaded valve outlet, specifically designed for nitrous oxide (N₂O) gas used in the food-grade cream charging industry, as well as in diving oxygen and specialty gas applications. Unlike standard CO₂ or argon cylinders, the type 27 valve features a precision-threaded neck that couples directly with N₂O filling heads and dispenser units.
At Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical Co., Ltd., we manufacture a complete range of type 27 cylinders, including:
- 580g / 615g / 640g / 680g — small-format cream charger tanks for retail and catering
- 2000g (2kg) — bulk N₂O tanks for high-volume whipped cream production and food service
- Diving oxygen cylinders — with type 27 outlet thread for scuba and medical oxygen applications
These cylinders are used across the USA, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East by wholesalers, brand owners, and sourcing agents who require consistent thread geometry, reliable burst pressure ratings, and full compliance with regional gas cylinder standards.
| Parameter | Type 27 (N₂O Cylinder) | Type 30 (CO₂ Cylinder) | Type 22 (Argon Cylinder) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valve Thread Diameter | 27mm | 30mm | 22mm |
| Primary Gas | N₂O (Nitrous Oxide) | CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) | Argon / Specialty Gas |

| Typical Capacity | 580g / 615g / 640g / 680g / 2000g | 425g / 600g / 2000g | 5L / 10L / 20L |
| Common End-Use | Whipped cream charger, diving oxygen | Soda/seltzer, beer dispensing | Welding, industrial processes |
| Certifications Needed (USA) | DOT / TC / ISO 9001 / Food-Grade | DOT / TC | DOT / ISO 9809 |
Note: Always verify specific cylinder certification requirements with your local regulatory authority. Specifications may vary by production batch.
2. Industry Pain Points & Why the Right Cylinder Matters
Import managers and brand owners who source N₂O cylinders from overseas suppliers often face three recurring pain points:
- Inconsistent valve thread tolerances — cylinders that fail to mate properly with filling heads, causing gas leakage and safety hazards.
- Incomplete or forged certification documents — resulting in customs holds, fines, or rejection at the port of entry (especially for DOT/TC regulated markets like the USA).
- Unreliable delivery timelines — production delays that disrupt your downstream customer commitments.
How Zhuzhou XingYe solves these: Our gas bottle type 27 cylinders are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, with 100% thread gauge inspection and full COA (Certificate of Analysis) and ECM (European Certification Mark) documentation. For US-bound shipments, we provide DOT-compliant pressure test reports and can arrange TC (Transport Canada) certification upon request. Our average lead time for bulk orders (500–10,000 units) is 18–25 days, with express shipping options available.

John D. — Import Manager, Texas, USA

“We tested type 27 cylinders from three Chinese suppliers before settling on XingYe. Their thread consistency was spot-on — zero leakage in our filling line. The DOT documentation arrived with every shipment, which made customs clearance smooth. Lead time was 22 days for our first 2,000-unit order. We’ve placed three repeat orders since.”
★★★★★
Sarah L. — Brand Owner, London, UK

“I needed OEM cylinders with my own branding in a custom blue RAL shade. XingYe’s team turned around the artwork in 3 days and the sample matched perfectly. The MOQ of 1,000 was manageable for our launch. Our wholesale clients love the packaging quality. Highly recommended for private label N₂O products.”
★★★★★
Miguel R. — Sourcing Agent, Miami, FL, USA
“I manage procurement for a group of five wholesale distributors. We needed a reliable supplier for type 27 580g tanks that could scale from 3,000 to 10,000 units per month. XingYe’s production capacity (they have over 50 employees and a dedicated cylinder line) and their response time impressed me. The pricing was competitive at FOB Shanghai. No quality issues after 6 months of shipments.”
★★★★★
David K. — Wholesaler, Sydney, Australia
“We have been sourcing N₂O cylinders for four years. The XingYe team is the most responsive we have worked with. They even helped us with Australian import regulations (the cylinder valving had to meet AS 2470). Their ability to adapt the product to local standards without inflating the price is why we keep coming back.”
★★★★★
Anna P. — Purchasing Manager, Hamburg, Germany
“The ECM certification on the type 27 cylinders was exactly what we needed for the EU market. Every batch came with a complete COA, and the cylinder weight was within ±1g of the specification. That kind of precision matters for our retail pricing. The payment terms (30% deposit, 70% against BL copy) were also flexible.”
★★★★★
