1.2 System Description
The Nuvair NSS Fill Containment Station Series is designed for use while filling high-
pressure gas cylinders (DIN, yoke, or SCBA). The all-steel construction of the fill
containment station (also referred to as a “blast cabinet” or “fragmentation cabinet)
offers protection for operators during the cylinder filling process. Its heads-up control
panel allows monitoring and adjustments from a standing position. The cabinet is
third-party tested to meet or exceed NFPA 1901 standard. Vertical blast tubes direct
air blast and debris away from the operator should a failure occur. The NSS Series
can handle, 2, 3, or 4 cylinders.
The model pictured is the NSS-2P-OCA. It is a 2-cylinder fill containment station with
pneumatic doors and oxygen compatible air filtration.
