What Is Hon Cocon; Construction - Honeywell HON COCON 13 Operator's Manual

2.2 What is the HON COCON 13
The HON Cocon 13 is a complete self‐contained underground gas regulating station for the reduction of gas pressure.
The station can be completely buried or installed above ground in an area much smaller than a conventional
regulating station.
The station ensures reliable gas supply at a constant pressure independent of the gas consumption.
The station having all essential elements of a conventional pressure reduction station is designed for use on gas
distribution and industrial applications.
Only a very restricted area is required for installing the station.
The working elements are contained in a removable cartridge retained by a simple closing construction.
All being housed in a steel body that is installed underground into the gas main.
Above ground is a vent stack, which contains vent pipes for atmospheric reference and the relief valve.
The HON Cocon is supplied pre‐assembled into a skid package, which considerably reduces the on‐site installation
time.
The station is made of steel, aluminum, bronze and synthetics. The station can be produced in other materials upon
request.
2.3 Construction
Remark: For the location of the parts of the gas pressure reducing station, mentioned in the text, we refer to
illustration 2.4.1.
The short numbers between the brackets, which are mentioned in the text,
are position numbers of the parts in illustration 2.1.
The top of the station is located a few centimeters above or at ground level. Depending on the composition of the
soil, a concrete foundation (plate) under the station may be needed.
The gas regulating station HON COCON 13 consists of two parts:
‐ The body.
‐ The gas regulating and safety unit. (Cartridge)
Remark: The "gas regulating and safety unit" will be referred to as the cartridge in the rest of the
manual.
