Other than items mentioned here, the construction, installation, and service will remain the same as discussed in the primary handbook. The FVIR acronym stands for "Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant." The State products are based on "Corderite Combustion Containment" known as “C3 Technology™” . The C3 Technology design features a sealed (from non designated air intake openings) combustion chamber and a "flame arrestor"... -
