9. Refer to product label (modification specific) for maximum inlet
pressures. If this rated pressure cannot be found, contact your local
Tescom representative for the rated pressure prior to installation and
use. Verify the designed pressure rating of all equipment (e.g., supply
lines, fittings, connections, filters, valves, gauges, etc.) in your system.
All must be capable of handling the supply and operating pressure.
10. Clearly establish flow direction of the fluid before installation of
controllers, regulators, valves, and accessories. It is the responsibility
of the user to install the equipment in the correct direction.
11. Do not tighten fittings, gauges, or components in pressurized systems.
12. Never turn controller, regulator or valve body. Instead, hold the
controller body and turn fitting nut.
13. If a controller, regulator or valve leaks or malfunctions, take it out of
service immediately.
14. Do not modify equipment or add attachments not approved by the
manufacturer.
15. Apply pressure to the system gradually, avoiding a sudden surge of
fluid or pressure shock to the equipment in the system.
16. Regulators are not shut-off valves. Install a pressure relief device
downstream of the regulator to protect the process equipment from
operating pressure increases. Shut off the supply pressure when the
regulator is not in use.
17. Periodic inspection and scheduled maintenance of your equipment is
required for continued safe operation.
18. The frequency of servicing is the responsibility of the user based on
the application. Never allow problems or lack of maintenance to go
unreported.
19. Read and follow precautions on compressed gas cylinder labels.
20. It is important that you analyze all aspects of your application and
review all available information concerning the product or system.
Obtain, read, and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for each fluid used in your system.
21. Oxygen service requires special expertise and knowledge of system
design and material compatibility in order to minimize the potential for
death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
22. Never use materials for controllers, regulators, valves, or accessories
that are not compatible with the fluids being used.
23. Users must test under normal operating conditions to determine
suitability of materials in an application.
24. Vent fluids to a safe environment, and in an area away from
employees. Be sure that venting and disposal methods are in
accordance with Federal, State, and Local requirements. Locate and
construct vent lines to prevent condensation or gas accumulation.
Make sure the vent outlet is not obstructed by rain, snow, ice,
vegetation, insects, birds, etc. Do not interconnect vent lines; use
separate lines if more than one vent is needed.
