Introduction
This manual covers the tasks required to install, operate and maintain the GASGUARD
®
Distribution Systems. Because of unique installation variables from site to site, it is not
intended as a step-by-step installation procedure, but relies on the knowledge of
qualified personnel to perform the work properly. This manual should be read
thoroughly by the supervising installation engineer before installation is begun.
The GASGUARD
®
distribution systems have been designed and built in accordance with
the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
They must be installed and operated in accordance with the UFC, NFPA and all other
applicable industrial, federal, state and local codes.
This distribution system is to be used with an upstream hazardous process gas source (a
cabinet or rack system) that is also designed and built in accordance with the Uniform
Fire Code (UFC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The source
equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the UFC, NFPA and all
other applicable industrial, federal, state and local codes. The source system must have
excess flow shutdown, emergency shutdown and over-pressure protection and the source
cylinders must contain a restrictive flow orifice in the cylinder valve if required by code.
