8.3.1.2 Full Purge Gas Cylinder Installation
1.
Verify that the replacement cylinder is identical to the purge gas cylinder that was removed.
Never attempt to replace specified gas with
another gas without consulting equipment
supplier. Incompatible gases could cause
fires, explosions or extremely corrosive or
toxic compounds.
2.
Position full cylinder in gas cabinet, and strap loosely. Remove valve protection cap.
If a valve protection cap is extremely
difficult to remove, do not apply excessive
force or pry the cap loose. Attach a label
to the cylinder identifying the problem.
Obtain another cylinder. Do not attempt to
open a frozen cap as this would damage
the cylinder valve and could result in
personal injury or death.
3.
Check that the cylinder valve is tightly closed.
4.
Check valve outlet area for contamination or damage. Do not attempt to use gas cylinder with
damaged or contaminated valve outlet. Replace the cylinder and tag the defective cylinder
indicating the problem.
5.
Position valve outlet so that it lines up properly with the pigtail cylinder connection and
tighten cylinder strap.
Do not rotate cylinder by holding cylinder
valve handle. This may open the cylinder
valve and cause a high pressure gas leak
which could result in personal injury or
death.
6. Remove pigtail cap/plug from pigtail cylinder connection.
