Option II - SWAGELOK Refilling

(1)

Separate the SWAGELOK quick connector system into male (QC4-D-200) and female

(QC4-B-200) parts (Fig. 1).

Insert the fine point of the special Horizon-designed adaptor (Fig. 2) into the male

(QC4-D-200) part of the SWAGELOK connector. Once the adaptor component is

positioned inside the SWAGELOK unit, use the wrench to tightly fasten the

SWAGELOK nut onto the adaptor (Fig. 3). This will create a permanent connection

between the adaptor and the male part of the SWAGELOK unit. Once the nut is

fastened, do not attempt to disassemble it.

(2)

Reassemble the female and male parts of the SWAGELOK unit (Fig. 4&5), and

connect it to your regulator’s hose.

This hose must be resistant to 40Bar (580PSI) of pressure.

(3)

If your regulator is already connected to your pressurized hydrogen cylinder and

tested for leaks, go directly to step 5.

Make sure the hydrogen pressure cylinder valve on top of the cylinder is tightly closed.

To connect your regulator/hose assembly to the pressurized hydrogen cylinder,

use the adjustable wrench to tighten the regulator inlet connector nut onto the

compressed cylinder in a counter clockwise direction (Fig. 6&7).
