Cylinder Mounting Instructions

• NFPA 2001 Requires that all


Containers (including the Actuator
cylinder) be installed in areas where
they are Protected from Vibration,
Harsh Chemicals, Weather and other
Physical Damage (This includes
indirect exposure to heat, humidity
and moisture)
7
Cylinder Mounting Instructions
IMPORTANT:
• Listed Ambient Temperature Range
- 4°F to +120°F (- 20°C to +49°C)
• Look for both “direct” and “indirect”
heat sources (sunlight, exhaust
airflow, ambient heat build-up, etc.)
• Cylinders can discharge even when
installed within acceptable Ambient
Temperature range due to direct heat
sources!!
8
Cylinder Mounting Instructions
IMPORTANT:
• Even small temperature changes can affect cylinder
pressure!

• IG-541 shown

9
Cylinder Mounting Instructions
NOTE:
• The pressure difference for a 300 Bar cylinder of
IG-541 at 30°F and 90°F is over 750 psi!

10
Cylinder Mounting Instructions

Safety Disc

• Installing cylinders in direct sunlight or inside


non air-conditioned enclosures can result in
cylinder venting through safety disc due to over-
pressurization!!
11
Cylinder Mounting Instructions

• Cylinders and Actuators must


be Installed in a manner that
permits ease of service
without prolonged down-time.
(this is especially critical
when installing cylinders
more than 2 rows deep in
cylinder racking)

12
Cylinder Mounting Instructions

• Cylinder Racking available in


single, double and triple-row
configurations to allow
installation of up to 15
cylinders in a single rack.
• Multiple racks can be used to
accommodate large systems.

Pressure Gauge Installation Instructions
• Pressure Gauge
Assembly includes the
Gauge and O-ring.
• Pressure Gauge 02-13131
shown for reference

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the pressure


gauge until familiar with proper procedure!
54
Pressure Gauge Installation Instructions

• Lubricate O-ring with Molycoat 55


or similar prior to installing.
• DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE!

IMPORTANT: Do not allow lubricant or other


debris to get into small pressure bleed-hole
or cover end of adaptor!
55
Pressure Gauge Installation Instructions
• Remove and retain plug from Pressure Gauge Port.
• Hand-tighten assembly until pressure is detected.
• Use flats on rear of gauge to gently wrench tighten up to
one additional turn to align gauge face. (Avoid over-
tightening gauge to prevent valve core damage!!)
• Leak test around the connection
port using snoop or similar.
• If leak is detected, remove
assembly, clean or replace the
O-ring and repeat steps above.
Pressure Gauge Installation Instructions
• When removing the pressure gauge assembly from a
pressurized cylinder, a loud pop will be heard when
trapped pressure is released from Pressure Gauge Port as
the O-ring clears the surface of the Pressure Gauge Port.
• Should a rapid pressure leak
persist after the O-ring “pop” is
heard, the valve core or O-ring
could be damaged. Retighten the
gauge and contact Fike.
