Aqueous solution of iodine (50 ppm iodine) made by adding approximately 0.8 mL of tincture of iodine (6-8
grams ammonium and/or potassium iodide/100 cc of 45% alcohol) to 1 L of water at 110° F / 43° C
•
Spray bottle (for the sanitizing or disinfecting cleaner)

the latch on E-Z Flo C5 regulator.
2 Using a sponge or soft cloth and the recommended sanitizing or disinfecting cleaner, wipe the external surfaces
of the regulator.
3 Inspect the inside of the regulator assembly through the regulator opening (see Figure 3-1 ). If excessive dirt or soil
