Be sure that the equipment received conforms to the order specifi-

cations. The user is responsible for selecting equipment compat-

ible with the gas in use, and conditions of pressure, temperature,

flow, etc. Selection information can be found in CONCOA tech-

nical data sheets. In addition, CONCOA representatives are trained

to aid in the selection process.

3. Inspect the assembly upon receipt to be sure that there is no dam-

age or contamination. Pay particular attention to connecting

threads. While CONCOA assembles system components to ex-

acting leak-tight standards, the customer should also inspect for

any loosening of parts that may occur in shipping or installation.

Loose parts may be dangerously propelled from an assembly. If

there are adverse signs (leakage or other malfunction), return the

assembly to the supplier. While it is advised that soiled regulators

be returned for cleaning, simple external dust or grease may be

removed by a clean cloth and if required with aqueous detergent

suitable for the application. If there are signs of internal contami-

nation, return to the supplier.

4. Before system start-up, it is recommended that all systems be pres-

sure tested, leak tested, and purged with an inert gas such as nitro-

gen. To accomplish this with connections other than a CGA 580,

it will be necessary to use an adapter. The recommended use of an

adapter is for temporary use, for start-up and system checks only.

Adapters should never be used on a permanent basis.

If the regulator includes gas specific inlet connections, their pur-

pose is to prevent usage on the wrong gases. Adaptation or alter-

ation for use on other gases can be dangerous, and is not recom-

mended.

GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

Comply with precautions listed in C.G.A. Pamphlet P-1, Safe Handling of

Compressed Gases in Containers.

Consult the cylinder distributor for the proper use of cylinders and for any

restrictions on their use (such as flow rate and temperature requirements).

Never use an open flame when leak testing.

Always open valves slowly when high-pressure gases are being used.

Always be sure that a cylinder contains the correct gas before connecting it

to any regulator.
