Pnuematic Circuit Breakers or Velocity Fuses
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Section 1926.303, Paragraph
7, published in the Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1920.1, revised July
1, 1982 states that all hoses exceeding 1/2” inside diameter shall have a safety
device at the source of supply or branch line to reduce pressure in case of a
hose failure”
These pnuematic safety devices are designed to prevent hoses from whip
ping and/or the loss of hazardous or toxic gasses, all of which could result in
a serious or fatal accident.
Never join pipes or fittings with lead-tin soldering. Welded or
threaded steel pipes and cast iron fittings, designed for the pres-
sures and temperatures, are recommended.

Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels such as
(but not
limited to)
pulsation bottles, heat exchangers, moisture separators and traps,
must be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section
VIII and ANSI B19.3 safety stan dards. They must be equipped with a properly
sized pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, tank drain, & manual shutoff valve
(refer to Fig. 3-2, Typical Drop Leg & Component Location).
The compressed air supply line from the air receiver of a stationary unit
