4-3.6 Installation of Pressure Actuation Pipe
The pressure actuation pipe must be 1/4-inch Schedule 40
or 80 pipe. The pipe or tubing must be routed in the most
direct manner with a minimum of fittings. Pipe and fittings
must be in accordance with the requirements listed in Para-
graph 4-2.5. Fittings can be flared or compression type.
The pressure-temperature ratings of the fitting manufac-
turer must not be exceeded.
Piping must be reamed free of burrs and ridges after cut-
ting, threading or flaring. Upon assembly, pipes must be
blown out with dry nitrogen or compressed air. Piping should
be securely braced and isolated from vibration, mechani-
cal or chemical damage.

Always connect a valve outlet adapter into
system piping (union connection) before
connecting to an FM-200 cylinder.
Install valve outlet adapter (P/Ns 283904, 283905 and
283906) in system piping. Tighten securely.
Note: A groove-groove fitting is used in place of a valve
outlet adapter for the 3-inch valve and associ-
ated cylinders.
