3.5.2 Supply Drum
Because Novec 1230 fluid is a liquid at typical ambient temperatures and pressure, pumping agent from
a supply drum in a closed system can create a vacuum detrimental to the structural integrity of the IBC
container. To counter this effect, ventilated air is filtered into drums using a vent drier employing disposable
or refillable desiccant cartridges. ese materials can be obtained from Drierite Company, Ltd (www.
drierite.com).
e Drierite part numbers for the appropriate cartridges and adapter are listed below.
• Drierite 40451 – Disposable cartridge
• Drierite 50068 – Refillable cartridge
• Drierite 50001 – Drier adapter
Refer to 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid Storage and Handling document 60-5002-0131-8 for
additional information.
