Helpful hints
To ensure adequate protective gas ow to the protected enclosure(s), all piping and tubing must be fully reamed.
Precautions must be taken to prevent crimping and other damage to protective gas piping and tubing.
When protecting multiple enclosures with a single enclosure protection system, the enclosures should be connected
in series from the smallest to the largest to ensure adequate protective gas ow.

*Smaller tubing and longer lengths allowed but ow will be decreased
NOTE: Tube and pipe sizes are trade sizes and are NOT equal in inside
diameter. DO NOT substitute tube for pipe with the same trade size.
Flow rate will also be dependant on the regulated pressure source
