5-4.2.10 Inspect Discharge Nozzles

Inspect discharge nozzles for dirt and physical damage. Replace damaged nozzles. If nozzles
are dirty or clogged, refer to Paragraph 5-6.1.
Nozzles must never be painted.
Nozzles must be replaced by nozzles of the same part number. (A part number

CAUTION
interchanging of nozzles could adversely affect proper HFC-227ea distribution
and concentration within a hazard area.
