Introduction
This manual covers the tasks required to install the Gasguard 250 Valve Manifold
Box. Because of unique installation variables from site to site, it is not intended as
a step-by-step installation procedure, but relies on the knowledge of qualified
personnel to perform the work properly. This manual should be read thoroughly
by the supervising installation engineer before installation is begun.
The Gasguard 250 valve manifold boxes have been designed and built in
accordance with the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA). They must be installed and operated in accordance with the
UFC, NFPA and all other applicable industrial, federal, state and local codes.
This valve manifold box is to be used with an upstream hazardous process gas
source (a gas cabinet or rack system) that is also designed and built in accordance
with the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA). The source equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with
the UFC, NFPA and all other applicable industrial, federal, state and local codes.
The source system must have excess flow shutdown, emergency shutdown and
over-pressure protection and the source cylinders must contain a restrictive flow
orifice in the cylinder valve if required by code.
