1.5.3 CONTAINERS w/ 2 ½” (65 mm) VALVE
Inverted (Spherical) HFC-227ea Containers are available in the
following sizes (capacities): 125 and 215 lb. (51 and 90 L). Both
of these containers utilize 2-1/2” NPT (65 mm) discharge outlet
valves, consisting of 2-1/2” (65 mm) rupture discs operated by
Gas Cartridge Actuators.
All containers are designed and fabricated in accordance with
DOT requirements. The associated rating is 4BA500.
Containers are also available with dual markings that meet the
requirement of both DOT and TC; the associated ratings for
these containers are 4BA500/4BAM500.
For ordering information, refer to Section 1.9 of this section.
Each container is supplied with 2-1/2” (65 mm) anti-recoil devices
consisting of a steel baffle plate with a 3/8” dia. (10 mm) hole
drilled through the plate. This allows the container pressure to
safely vent to atmosphere if the discharge valve is activated prior
to installation. The baffle plate is installed in the Grooved
Coupling attached to the discharge outlet valve.
The 125 and 215 lb. (51 and 90 L) Inverted Containers MUST be
installed in the valve down (inverted) position. Mounting Brackets
are supplied with each container, and each must be anchored to
an appropriate load-bearing structure.
Both containers are equipped with a Liquid Level Indicator Boss to install the optional Liquid Level Indicator. This
device must be installed prior to filling the container with HFC-227ea agent.
